January 2022 – updated grit bin map published

Local councillors have produced an updated map of the grit bins around Dringhouses & Woodthorpe ward.

The map that is available on the council website does not include grit bins managed by the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, those on the Revival estate that have been ‘adopted’ by the ward or those that have recently been installed following requests from residents.

If residents spot any grit bins that need re-filling, please let us know by e-mailing DandW@yorklibdems.org.uk

Be ready for wintry conditions – “on line” map gives local salt bin and gritting details for York

It looks like we may get our first freeze of the winter shortly so we hope that residents will check that their local salt bins are full (and free from litter).

Its also a good idea to know which local streets are routinely de-iced by the “gritting” lorry.service-map

 

Easiest way to find  out where your local services are is by accessing the above map which can be found at:

 http://localview.york.gov.uk/Sites/TranStreetCare/

Click i to see where your nearest salt bin issalt-bins-gritting-routes

Then click the fourth symbol along.

This will allow you to tick a box next to “primary” and” secondary” gritting routes. The primary gritting routes include most bus routes and are salted as a precaution when weather forecasts predict icy conditions.

You can find out whether the gritters are working by “following” them on twitter @yorkgritter
