CHRC have purchased four additional grit bins in forest green. Three 400 litre bins have been placed in the following locations on Chalfont Heights Estate:

• at the top of Lewis Lane near the small island
• at the foot of Chiltern Hill
• at the mid point of Sandy Rise, replacing the smaller 200 litre bin previously located there.

A new 200 litre bin has been provided for the residents of the Lincoln Road spur who have in the past experienced difficulties on this steep access road in snow conditions. All estate bins have been filled with replacement road salt in readiness for the winter.

We have also bought a hand operated salt spreader which we hope will speed up the salting process on our key roads such as Chiltern Hill and Woodside Hill. This will be looked after by Bob Burge, and is available on demand.

Request from Bob: please could all snow clearance volunteers contact me (Bob) to advise continued availability and to provide telephone contact numbers, house name and road covered.

The first road sweep of the season will be on the morning of Monday 12th November. It is hoped that by this time the majority of leaves will have fallen.
