Minutes:
The Chief Officer: Environment and Public Protection gave a brief oral update on winter preparations. The salt barn held 3000 tons of salt, of which 150 tons had been used this winter. The gritting vehicles had moved to Downmill Road and extra equipment had been purchased at a cost of £70k.
The Panel noted that the salt would be fine as long as it was stored dry. However if it did become unusable it was the contractor’s responsibility to replace it.
