Salt more Laois roads request Cllrs

There were 57 ‘salt runs’ made by Laois County Council this winter, up to the end of January.

With salt stocks high, Cllrs want more roads covered during any icy conditions.

“We only have five trucks, but maybe we can tweak it, using smaller trucks, and grit at churches, railway stations and schools,” said Services Director Kieran Kehoe.
