Between 02 and 03, Yoke and Zoom installed one pair of grit bins, one labeled GRIT, the other DETERMINATION in each of the six district council areas within Worcestershire: Bromsgrove, Malvern Hills, Redditch, Wychavon, Wyre Forest and Worcester City, A total of 6 pairs.They were installed in rural roadside (with the exception of Worcester City) each bin was strategically sited in a location where residents had requested to have grit bins placed previously, so as to be benificial or a gift to the community in a practical sense and as an artwork.
