Grit Bins

Requests for new grit bins can be sent to Ashby de la Zouch Town Council.  If the Town Council agrees a grit bin is required the Town Council needs to apply to Leicestershire County Council for a grit bin in the specific location.  The County Council only consider applications once a year and the deadline is 30th June.
