Shovelling snow last winter

Sutton’s Liberal Democrat Council once again offered residents free grit as we prepare for winter, and once again the scheme was a massive success with residents. Some 42 tons of free grit was collected by residents.

It is a scheme first piloted by Sutton Council and now copied elsewhere.

With the night’s drawing in and a chill in the air the Council offered 10kg of free grit to every household, to prepare for when the snowy and icy weather hits us.

The grit was provided over  four weekends in October.
