| The stuff you put on the road - not on your fish and chips |
NORTH East Lincolnshire is soon set to get its first mountain . . . one made of salt!
In the coming months, some 2,000 tonnes will be delivered to the borough.
Over winter, the salt will be spread on roads to reduce the risk of motorists skidding on icy roads.
Already 600 tonnes have been supplied in readiness for winter- gritting by the council and its regeneration partner Engie.
Says Cllr Stewart Swinburn, NELC's portfolio holder for transport and the environment: “We must remember we are now entering the colder, darker months where we may experience extreme weather conditions and need to keep ourselves safe on the roads.
“Only use your car if absolutely necessary and try to stick to main roads.
"While our gritting service covers many of North East Lincolnshire’s roads, they cannot cover all, especially smaller residential streets, where access is limited."
