No salt on bank - major issues with multiple (at least 10) vehicles

Reported via iOS in the Salt/ grit treatment request for a road category anonymously at 18:47, Monday 5 January 2026

Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14192514.

This needs to be gritted immediately. There were multiple vehicles stuck here this morning (which had to be towed out - one being a vet!!!) and it took me an hour and a half to get home (usually five minutes - and I had to reverse back down and do a three point turn at the bottom - spending most of my time in the hedge!!). I am an experienced driver who has driven in the snow since I passed my test more than 50 years ago. I have never had any problems, but the lack of grit (no grit bins anywhere!!!!) and the fact that we are not on a gritting route is beyond a joke. Something needs to be done. I have emailed my MP and intend to email Heather Kidd and Shropshire CE.
