Ernie Clark. Hilperton Division, Wiltshire Council.

WCC is reducing its programme of salting roads to maintain stocks.
The extended spell of cold weather has depleted the county's salt supplies to such an extent that only strategic routes in the county will be salted over the next few days. During the recent cold spell around 2,000 tonnes of salt have been used. However, Devon County Council has offered 500 tonnes of salt to Wiltshire, and once the salt is in the county the strategy will be reviewed.

From tonight (February 5) the council will only be salting the following roads, however it cannot be assumed these roads will not be hazardous:

A429 from Poole Keynes to M4

A350 from M4 south to the county border

A30 from the county border to Wilton and on to the county border

A338 from the county border to Easton Royal

A3102 from M4 to Calne

A4 across the whole county

A346 from M4 to Burbage

A345 from Salisbury to Amesbury

A360 from Stonehenge to Devizes

A361 from Southwick to the Beckhampton roundabout

A4361 from the Beckhampton roundabout to Wroughton.
