Schools urged to make early decision on closures

County Councillors meet today having been called to an emergency meeting to discuss the county’s dwindling salt stocks with another big freeze on the way.
Council sources say there is only enough salt to treat 1/3 of the county’s roads.
It is understood the National Roads Authority has instructed the council cut down their use of salt due to a national shortage.
