Grit bins could ‘slide’ away

Grit bin

Grit bins in Newport Pagnell and Milton Keynes are at risk of being taken back by the Conservative run Milton Keynes Council.

Grit bins which are already extreemely scarce in Newport Pagnell, are at risk of being ‘relocated’ to other areas of Milton Keynes.

Andy Maric said: “Residents, Groups and the Lib Dem Focus team have fought hard over the years to get what we can from the Council, and we had a plan and a promise of many more ready for the forthcoming winter. Since Lib Dems lost control of the Council, that plan has been scrapped and they now want to do the opposite and take what we already have away to put elsewhere.

Obviously what is currently in place exists for a good reason, or it wouldn’t have been there to start with, taking them away is just insulting and clearly playing silly political games. What the Conservatives really need to think about it will it be amusing when someone falls over and breaks bones because there was no grit bins to grit icy roads in Newport Pagnell, I think not, but they clearly want to learn the hard way…

We are going to work hard to defend our Grit bins in Newport Pagnell and continue to ask for and fight for more where they are needed. We would welcome your views.”
