As the winter weather starts to return there is some good news with the arrival of additional grit bins in Cadder and Wyndford and the replenishment of grit bins in Kelvindale, Summerston and Maryhill. Land and Environmental Services confirm that all available resources, both Glasgow City Council and sub-contractors, continue to be deployed on winter maintenance duties on a 24 hour basis.  The service has strived to try to ensure that priority roads and footways have been continually gritted during this period of adverse weather, with resources being deployed to secondary routes, e.g. residential areas, when resources permit, together with the replenishment of the 1000 salt bins deployed throughout the city. 

Update 20 Dec 2010

Land and Environmental Services have now confirmed temporary 1 ton supplies of grit for Summerston and Killermont areas and are looking to place additional grit bins at Cumlodden Drive and Blackhill Court.

In order to provide the most efficient service Land and Environmental Services have asked that I encourage constituents to make use of the 24hr free phone number 0800 373635 or 0141 276 7000 (for mobile phones) to report any requests for gritting or replenishing of salt bins.
