Grit Bin, empty, unserviceable and totally useless!

Reported via desktop anonymously at 20:52, Thu 7 December 2023

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5294254.

There is a wooden fence now fronting the former site of the Avala Care Home. The company responsible for erecting the fence was "FM Construction Services, Beaumont House, Redburn Road, Newcastle, NE5 1NB". For some unknown reason, the fence erecters moved the Girt Bin from which used to be on the Mile Road, in front of the Care Home into the former Avala Site, and left it there!! The Grit Bin is clearly visible, lying emptied, unserviceable and totally useless for all those nearby villagers it is meant to serve; in particular the aged and the mobility impaired. Widdrington has already suffered freezing temperatures, and for the upcoming two months, snow is a guarantee. The Grit bins are meant to provide 'us' with a means to keep our roads and pavements safe and ice-free during these winter months.
