Grit Bins in Badwell Ash and Long Thurlow
Currently the Parish Council owns and supplies the grit bins located throughout Badwell Ash. These bins play an important role in keeping our community safe during icy and snowy weather.
How Grit Bins Are Maintained
• Annual Replenishment: Suffolk Highways refills all parish grit bins from August each year, ensuring they are fully stocked ahead of the winter period.
• Local Monitoring: The Badwell Ash Street Cleaner checks and monitors the bins regularly, reporting any issues so they can be addressed promptly.
New Grit Bin Requests
The Parish Council has submitted requests for two additional grit bins at:
• The Broadway junction with Ladywood Drive, Badwell Ash
• Long Thurlow, beside the Community Hub
Before any new bin can be installed, Suffolk Highways must assess and approve the proposed location to ensure it meets safety and operational criteria.
Using Grit Responsibly
Grit from parish bins is provided for use on public roads and pavements to help keep the community safe.
It must not be used for private driveways, private car parks, or commercial premises.
