Road salt supplies are stockpiled
Extra supplies of road salt are being stockpiled in Leicestershire
after record snow falls last winter.
The county council used 16,423 tonnes of salt - 60% more than
usual - during the heaviest falls of snow for nearly 20 years. Now
it is taking delivery of an extra 8,000 tonnes, well ahead of the
gritting season in October. The council, which faced criticism for
the amount of disruption caused by the snow, said it would grit
45% of roads. Gritting takes place along most A roads, some B and
C class roads, major commuter and bus routes and, as far as possible,
at least one route into all villages, officials said. Lesley Pendleton,
cabinet member for highways and transport, said: "I know it seems
strange to be stocking up on salt in August, but we want to make
sure that we're ready for when severe winter weather arrives."
