Grit bins
There are 2 grit bins located in the secure car park, one adjacent to the ramp down to the bicycle store and the other near the entrance to the lift. For Health and Safety reasons, the Management Company does not undertake any gritting.
Removal arrangements and delivery of furniture or bulky items
