Your FAQ

Question: Is the Council able to provide me wih my own supply of salt for the winter months?

Answer: No, the Council does not have any salt available to sell. The gritting works is contracted out and therefore, the salt is owned by the contractor. You can however, buy salt from places such as the Builders Centre.

We are also unable to supply grit bins in any locations.
