We continue our occasional series of Brigg salt bin pictures with this one taken on a sunny Sunday morning at Almond Grove. The bin is beside the short, but steep, road that connects Atherton Way and Almond Grove/Birch Avenue and is just a few yards from the Barnard Avenue bungalows.
These bins dotted around Brigg are a joint initiative between our Town Council and the North Lincolnshire authority. The aim is to keep the bins stocked with material that community-minded householders can collect and spread during spells of ice and snow.
IF YOU ENJOY VISITING THIS WEBSITE REGULARLY TO FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON, WE'RE ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER MAKING A DONATION TOWARDS OUR COSTS. MUCH TIME AND EFFORT IS PUT INTO FINDING AND PROCESSING STORIES AND PHOTOS.

There's a yellow salt/grit bin to the rear of the Angel, adjoining the Angel car-park......but it seems that it hasn't seen much salt since Pontious was a pilate....
Whatever happened to the ' Saxa Salt ' snake your mum used to make on the path outside the garden gate ?
These bins will get used , it was heartening to see people showing community spirit two years ago during the big freeze . Some closes off Churchill Avenue were entirely cleared by residents . Not just a precision pathway that stopped exactly on their propertys boundry , but more a lets clear the whole path and road for everyone to use.
This year the bins could double up as emergency corracles should the rain continue into 2013.
