Anyhow, without trawling back through the thread, are we suggesting that it would be time and money well spent for SCC to put out the grit bins at the start of winter, fill them, and then collect them, empty them and store them at the end of winter? If so, what for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones on my road stay in place all year. I believe most do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, my nearest is removed around early March, as, now I come to think about it, is the one above that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Swaine Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 It's selfish how car drivers use all of the salt to get their car out, leaving none for pedestrians and also create huge mounds of snow on the pavement, making it difficult for pedestrians to walk along the pavement. The selfishness of car drivers never ceases to amaze me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
