Grit heaps and salt bins

As the majority of the roads in the county are not routinely treated, we provide salt heaps and grit bins as a self-help facility for road users. Typically, these are sited in rural areas, on bends and steep gradients and in villages (often near the school) where they are most needed.

“Cumbria Highways is currently operating a programme of automatic grit heap/bin refill and therefore bin/heaps will be replenished as soon as possible.”
