Here in Sutton we have just announced that every household can collect 10kg of grit from the council for free to help them cope with what is expected to be another very cold and possibly snowy winter.
People who can't get out easily can have their grit collected for them by a friend or neighbour - on production of that person's proof of address, or the council will deliver it to people who are on the assisted wheelie bin collections scheme.
There are a number of places around the borough to collect grit from and these will be listed on the Sutton website.
Sutton's Lib Dem Council have introduced this new service to help people to help themselves. The council will still grit road and pavements, and schools will now help to clear the pavements outside the school thanks to a free supply of grit from Sutton too.
