Allington needs grit!

Kent County Council

There is just one salt bin in Allington Ward and the gritter only does the London Road yet the ward is hilly, busy and has a bus route running around it. Bin lorries struggle in the ice, the pavements are treacherous and access to the schools is difficult. Allington needs to be supported during snow and ice.

Requests for salt bins are met with a blanket refusal.

Local Green campaigner, Rachel Rodwell: "I live in Allington and know just how difficult and dangerous it is to get around in the snow and ice. Let's put some community pressure on KCC to help us."

Cllr Stuart Jeffery (Green): "I am amazed that KCC seems to have forgotten Allington. It's time to put that right."

KCC, please work with local residents to ensure that they have access to salt bins and please ensure that at least the route of the 79A is gritted during times of snow and ice.
