Cheshire West and Chester Council offers road salt supply reassurance
Dec 31 2009 by Claire Devine, Chester Chronicle
ASSURANCES have been made that Cheshire West and Chester Council has enough road salt stocks for the winter.
The reassurance comes after the AA issued a warning about salt levels, claiming half the UK’s local authorities only have enough road salt for six days of continuous freezing.
The organisation said it understood councils had 250,000 tonnes less road salt in stock than they would have had a decade ago.
But the Local Government Association dismissed the claims as scaremongering.
