We no longer have to grit our teeth!

Because here it is, a grit bin with grit in it! After the heavy snow in January, I got to work clearing the snow and ice from the junction of Mersey Way & Bowling Green Road. Vehicles were getting stuck on the ice trying to get out onto Bowling Green Road.   



Grit bin!

This situation was potentially very dangerous and could have left cars stranded in the path of vehicles moving along Bowling Green Road. There is a telephone number on the bin to get it refilled, but the grit is only to be used on the road, not for personal use!

Thank you Thatcham Town Council for supplying the bin and West Berkshire Council for filling the bin with grit. The local residents really appreciate it.
