LAST week Wirral Council employed a contractor to scuttle around Wirral removing all the grit bins funded through the “you decide” initiative in 2011.
Residents were asked to identify areas were icy roads were a potential danger or resulted in people slipping on the pavements.
Many of the areas were off the gritting routes.
With a cold and frosty winter being forecast I can't imagine a more irresponsible thing to do.
I call on the cabinet member for highways (Cllr Stuart Whittingham) to take immediate steps to reinstate these bins – put our grit bins back Cllr Stuart Kelly Liberal Democrat, Oxton.
