Public encouraged to use 'roadside salt bins'

Residents are being reminded they can use roadside salt bins to reduce the risk of slipping on ice.

In a post on social media, government says even roads or pavements that have been gritted can re-freeze if it hails, rains or snows.

It comes as the Island is battling with temperatures of -6, with ice, frost and wintry showers continuing to cause havoc for those travelling.

If you want to report an empty bin - you can contact the number on its lid with the unique reference number.
