Brrrr its getting colder

Wow, a freezing day today - and last night. It was minus 5 overnight according to my thermometer 'lowest' marker and still minus three at 9 am. Bet there's more to come tonight if the BBC weather guide is anything to go by.

Find out about salting by CBC by clicking  Central Beds Salting

Of course you may be on a route that doesn't get salted and want to know where your nearest salt bin is.
CBC advises:


There are over 200 salt bins set out on the public highway across Central Bedfordshire. The salt bins are provided for the public to use on the roads and footways and are generally sited at bends or hills where the risk of slipping on ice is greater.

Salt bins are not provided for people to use within their own private property. If you wish to do this, most supermarkets and builders merchants hold good stocks of de-icing salt for you to buy.

Here are the locations given by CBC for Cranfield

Harter Avenue, junction with Wood End
Marston Hill half way up near White Cottage
