Over the past few weeks I have been contacted by constituents across Dunfermline South regarding the removal of grit bins. This is an unfortunate consequence of a decision made the the SNP and Labour Council Administration earlier this year.

While I have made representations to try and get some of these grit bins reinstated, I am also deeply unhappy at the original decision. I voted against this as I saw the problems we experienced last winter and these removals could lead to significant danger for many residents walking on snow and ice.

On another note I am pleased to mention that while a grit bin was removed from Merlin Drive, I managed to get it added to a secondary gritting route like the neighbouring estates. If your estate is not on any type of gritting route and you think it should be please get in touch.
