About 30% of salt bins scheduled by the Council to be sited in the Foxwood area have yet to be deployed. An audit conducted on 6th December suggests that the map displayed on the Councils web site is inaccurate.

This is a shame as we are now well into the time of year when icy roads and footpaths can become a problem.

It seems that local Councillors have not checked the salt bins this year so it will very much be up to local residents to ensure that the bins are where they should be, that they have been filled and that they remain topped up.

The bins that should be deployed in the Foxwood area are located at:
1. Pheasant Drive opposite number 14
2. Linnet Way opposite 14/16
3. Foxwood Community Centre, Bellhouse Way *
4. Bradley Drive near 25*
5. Saddlebrook Court (ELP) Herman Walk*
6. Fir Heath Close outside 5
7. Foxwood Shops
8. Beechwood Glade
9. Otterwood lane near 34
10. Askham Croft at junction with Waterman Court
11. Foxwood Lane junction with Askham Lane*
12. Foresters Walk/Foxwood Lane
*Missing @ 6th Dec
A full list of the bins which should be available in the Westfield area is reproduced below

The Council have now told us that the work on the sewer on Askham Lane will be completed later this week and it is hoped to have the Lane open again by the weekend.

They have also apologised to residents for not updating their web site
