NEW GRIT BIN IN CAVENDISH ROAD

 

When the snow falls, the pavements in Cavendish Road get icy. The snow usually melts fairly quickly on the pavements on the north side as this gets sun during the day, but the pavements on the south side are shaded by tall buildings like Fiske Court, so the snow lingers and hardens to ice. This is a particular problem as on the south side there are several blocks of sheltered housing for the elderly, Fiske Court and Richard Sharples House.

 

Responding to requests from residents of Fiske Court, Richard has several times been to Cavendish Road and himself cleared the pavement of snow. Now, we have discussed the problem with Council officers and got a new grit bin put in place outside Fiske Court. This will help deal with the problem if the snow returns.

 

Our picture shows Richard with Lee, who delivered the bin and filled it with grit.
