A COMMUNITY councillor has highlighted the need for grit bins in Haddington.
The group’s latest meeting included talks about how the community had coped during Storm Darcy earlier this year.
Graham Samuel, from Haddington and District Community Council, felt there was a lack of grit bins near where he lived in the Burnside area.
He said: “The nearest grit bin from here is a good 5-10-minute walk up towards Gateside and most of the time it is empty.”
Mr Samuel stressed that the lack of grit bins was not an issue specific to where he lived but was something needing addressed throughout the town.
Ward councillor Shamin Akhtar vowed to follow up on the matter.
