As the cold snap continues, Barnet Council has made available a fully searchable list of grit bins in the borough.

Grit from any of the over 470 grit bins can be used by any member of the public to grit public roads and footpaths.

The fully searchable list can be found here: https://www.barnet.gov.uk/directories/grit-bins.

Empty grit bins can be reported at the Council’s winter road maintenance page.
