Murrayfield Road grit bin

John Fareham and John Abbott are making arrangements for the provision of a grit bin to cover the cut-through from Murrayfield Road to Bricknell Primary School.

We have been liaising with the officers around the provision of such a bin from local Community Initiatives funding.  What this would mean in practice is that the Council provide the bin and the grit, which local residents themselves could then use as and when needed to grit their pavements.  In addition it would be up to local residents to let the Council know when the bin was empty and needed refilling. Given the gap between staffing levels and resource availability on the one hand, and the need to keep many miles of pavements open on the other hand, we offer this option as a possible solution given the necessity of keeping access to the back way into the school available at all times.
