Salt Bins & Road Gritting In Sheffield

[Eater Sundae 12]

That is what you call an excellent service!

 

Our local bin is regularly topped up. There is always plenty in. I've never needed to phone up to get more - I assume others nearby must be phoning. More excellent service.

Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs! Our road in WW has been gritted.

Don't get me wrong, I am pleased, but will it work? We have a few inches of compacted snow/ice

 

(thank you to the gritterman/woman)

i would like to thank some of the residents on Holmhirst Rd & Todwick Rd who assisted the gritting team, (me and my mate), to spread the salt this morning, & to the lady @ the church that offered us a cup of tea...we were too busy to accept, but thank you anyway, and to the others that just stood in their frontroom windows and watched whilst their neighbours got stuck in :mad:.shame on you.

Yes shame on them ,

 

With the news saying all council's have to cut back on Gordon's Grit im wondering which bits the troops at Streetforce have had to cut back on

Apparently we've had another '11th hour' delivery with more to come tonight/tomorrow

 

Watching Calendar today I'd like to add thanks for the gritters working around the clock to do all they can

There was 2 lorrys parked up in the layby opposit Olive Grove Depot around 4pm this afternoon waiting to drop off Gordons Grit

 

Problem we have now is the snow is melting and with the nights still cold the roads are more iced up than normal
