Request for a grit bin at this location

Reported via desktop in the Salt/ grit bins- new request category anonymously at 16:41, Tuesday 6 January 2026

Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14192681.

Please can you put a grit bin at this junction. Tonight I have had the school bus do a complete turn on the ice at this junction with the kids onboard, we met a car so had to stop and then I couldn't get up the bank towards Mainstone. I tried to reverse back to the junction but in doing so the bus started to slide and turn and the bus landed up turning completely around on the ice. I was then able to go back up to Crinkling Cottages to turn back around and without stopping this time managed to get up. This is a regular spot for ice and I have requested before for a salt bin as there are no salt bins between Cefn Einion and Bishops Castle on the school route. Luckily I carry salt with me, but with no phone signal here we were very much on our own.
