Binsted Parish has eleven grit bins for road salt – listed below – to provide grit for use on public areas. We are very grateful to Julian Thomson, a volunteer on our Transport Working Group, for checking the grit levels in our bins this winter – all are full except for the Binsted Pavilion carpark bin.
If you notice that any of our bins are low on salt, please be a good citizen and request a top-up from Hampshire County Council – online at Road salt grit bins | Hampshire County Council (hants.gov.uk) and request ‘refill a salt bin’. HCC refills salt bins as soon as they can, and in bad weather often will fill up empty bins from gritting lorries being deployed in that area.
