Meanwhile according to The Press a Labour Councillor has said that many salt bins were not used last year.
Maybe so, given that we had a mild winter, but memories are short.
The City virtually came to a halt as recently as January 2010 when many salt bins were emptied as soon as they could be filled.

Some even became inaccessible for several days because of the depth of the snow and ice.

Meanwhile the furore over abandoned salt bins has forced a Labour Councillor to promise “a decision will be taken quickly to ensure residents’ safety is given top priority, with action taken on the ground by the time sustained and heavy snowfall arrives”.
Ridiculous, of course, given that many of the bins are now damaged and freezing rain is often the main cause of icy paths.
