Surplus de-icing product BBLP recently trialled a de-icing solution which has subsequently not been taken into routine use as it is not suitable for the type of highway use we require. It is however potentially suitable for use in a number of community type settings, perhaps in churchyards, entrances to residential care homes, and so on. The surplus is available free of charge to any Parish Council/Community Group that thinks they could use it. I’ve attached a data sheet but essentially the solution is most effective when sprayed on footpaths, yard areas or similar when icy conditions are forecast (to prevent ice forming) rather than after the event. The solution comes in 25 litre drums and as it needs to be sprayed any group taking up the offer would need a simple spray container/device. An opportunity maybe to get ahead of the game in preparation for next winter. If you are interested let Mike or I know. Herefordshire Council website is the one-stop-shop for up to date information Maps for pot holes are available on the Councils website https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/transport-and-highways/maintenance/potholes We hope the above is of interest. Kind regards Shane & Mike.

dippyhippy Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 That de - icing solution.......I want it! Whoever has the ear of the Greyfriars/Whitecross candidates, tell them to get a wriggle on and get some of that stuff pronto! That'll guarantee them a good few votes! The pavements around Whitecross are bloody lethal in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
