Salt supplies at maximum levels in readiness for winter. (15/11/12)
Salt supplies in the Highlands are at maximum levels as The Highland Council prepares for the winter. Stocks stand at 67,300 tonnes.
This exceeds the average annual amount used over the last five years and gives the Council a resilience of 73 days for average frost or light snow conditions, or 20 days of extreme conditions requiring continual treatment.
Arrangements are in place to re-stock during the winter if the rate of use is high. The suppliers have adequate reserves for this to happen and no shortage is anticipated.
