We recognise that whilst there is no legal duty to provide salt bins they undoubtedly benefit local communities that would not normally receive immediate help during severe weather or snow. Grit/salt bins have been prioritised and provided at critical locations according to:
To find the location of grit/salt bins in your area, select your borough/district from the map below, or see the locations on our interactive map.
We receive a lot of requests for new grit/salt bins across Surrey, but we only have limited resources so we have to place them where their use will be most effective. Surrey County Council's Local Committees(and other organisations) can purchase additional grit bins that can be placed at a safe location on the highway at a cost of £1,000 each (to be reviewed annually). These charges will cover installation, repair and maintenance and one fill a year for 4 years. Any purchased grit bins will be installed and filled ahead of the next winter season.
To request a grit/salt bin through a Local Committee, please contact your local county councillor or alternatively get in touch with your Parish or Local Community Group that when approached may be prepared to meet the cost.
