Could it not be seen as them creating the situation for a fall to happen? Absolutely not. There is no legal requirement for grit to be made available by a local authority AFAIK.

Planner1 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 2 hours ago, Resident said: It would be relatively easy for the council to remove these when they were no longer needed in the season. You seriously think they have the time and storage capacity to remove and replace 2200 grit bins every year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chekhov Posted December 3, 2023 Author Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) 4 hours ago, Resident said: Had one at the top of our road. Disappeared before the last snow back in March and hasn't been seen since. It got used because we're at the top of a hill with a crossroad junction. Residents like myself would take it upon ourselves to grit the hill approaches to the junction to make it safer for all. I have asked the council why it was taken and no response. Write to your councillor. If they are anything like Julie Grocutt (my councillor, and, since the pandemic, I'm not even a Labour voter) they'll give you an answer. 1 hour ago, hackey lad said: Got three in about a 150 yard stretch on our road . Is it hilly ? We could do with three within 150m where we live..... 15 minutes ago, hackey lad said: No ,all three are full and have been all year . Lucky you.

Maybe they should get the illegal migrants and asylum seekers to grit the roads Give them a shovel so they can earn their keep Hotels aren't cheap you know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
