As the first proper snow of winter starts falling today, thought I would update with some contact details.

If you have an empty Grit Bin on your road, you can call 01913706000 the Highways Action line or email them at hal@durham.gov.uk

Bear in mind the council has around 2000 bins to fill and does this on a cycle so it is possible that they may be getting round.

Please also use these to report if you see anyone stealing the grit in large quantities as this happened last year in quite a few areas. If you can get a registration number the police may be able to work with the council to deal with grit thieves.
