Hadleigh Cllr, Simon Hart has been busy today distributing salt to Hadleigh, Benfleet & Thundersley residents who live in roads with pathways liable to freeze during the Winter. The scheme is operated by Essex Highways.
The Salt Bag Partnership scheme is designed to help local communities support themselves during periods of heavy snow. One tonne of bagged salt, delivery and a support pack is provided, free of charge, to help County Councillors and Parish Councils organise the scheme and to provide helpful information to volunteers. It is also an opportunity to plan ahead and think about how our community will be ready for winter.
