The council has warned that the 324 grit bins dotted around the borough should not be used to treat private driveways.
Bury Council’s request comes after it released details of their road gritting activities during the severe cold spell during the first half of December and thanked the teams who helped keep the roads safer in temperatures which reached around -9C at times.
Council gritting teams went out 15 times during the recent cold snap from December 5 to 18. Crews were deployed on average once a day, and have spread more than 450 tonnes of salt to help keep the roads safe.
