As the majority of the roads in the County are not routinely treated, we provide salt heaps and grit bins as a self-help facility for road users. Typically, these are sited in rural areas, on bends and steep gradients and in villages (often near the school) where they are most needed. If you notice a salt heap or bin is empty, please contact the Highways Hotline and let us know where it is.
