Heather’s Report for February 2021

Dear All,
GRITTING: The bad weather has returned and also problems related to gritting. The main problem it seems is that the Council’s contractors use the same people to grit and try to repair the roads. So if it freezes they have to switch repair gangs over to do the gritting which doesn’t always happen smoothly.
When we have diversion routes put in place for a road closure which is normally gritted then the diversion route should be gritted too. Let me know is this does not happen.
Do get in touch if you are having problems or if your grit bin is empty.
NEWS UPDATES: I regularly send our news bulletins via email on current conditions including information on services, the law, grants etc. If you would like to be added to the list of recipients please contact me on the email/phone number below.
POSTAL VOTES: The Government has decided to press ahead with elections for Shropshire Council and the Police and Crime Commissioner on 6th May irrespective of what the health the situation looks like. If you would like to vote by post, contact elections@shropshire.gov.uk or 0345 678 9015
MOVING BACK TO MY HOME: Eleven months after the fire in my house I will be moving back in towards the end of this month/beginning of March. Please bear with me if my responses aren’t as quick as normal during the move.
Best wishes
Heather Kidd,
Shropshire Councillor for Chirbury and Worthen Division,
