Residents of a Hadfield estate are pleased after being given a grit bin.
Water which runs off from Roughfields freezes over in frosty weather and turns Vale House Drive, Crowden Drive and Maguire Avenue into a skating rink.
Several people have fallen on the ice and have injured themselves over the last few years.
Roughfields is owned by High Peak Borough Council so the authority has now installed a new grit bin at the top of Vale House Drive which they have pledged to keep full.
Ice on Vale House Drive in Hadfield
Local residents complained to Padfield borough councillor Ollie Cross, HPBC and Derbyshire County Council and now, after months of campaigning, the bin has been installed.
Parish councils are mostly responsible for supplying grit bins to areas DCC hasn't covered but, as Hadfield has no parish council, the Assets Team at High Peak Borough Council have stepped in and provided one.
They warn that this is a one-off case as the water run-off is from the authority's land and that policy isn't going to change.
