There is a pile of grit here at this location which is frozen and unusable because there is no grit bin. We would like a bin at this location as it is a public footpath and needs gritted to avoid injury to local residents in Clatt

Sent to Aberdeenshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 944045.
Several piles of grit have been dumped within the village area but all are frozen, and water damaged because there is no grit bin. We have been seriously affected by the recent snow and are largely one of the last areas to be cleared. Please could we request a grit bin, preferably two which we can fill and clear the public paths so as to avoid injury.
