- Report from Snow Warden – need any salt in bins etc?
RC read JR report -Firstly I would like to thank all of you who helped out with gritting duties during the cold snap we experienced a few weeks ago. I would say the only issue with the pavement gritting was damp grit but I can’t imagine anything can be done about that as it’s obviously damp when bagged up.
As for grit boxes. I personally haven’t had the time to go round and check them to see if top up are required and to my knowledge I haven’t heard anything from anyone on reporting an empty box.
Damp grit reported as small issue. JR will check salt bins
