I've just rescued MCN (9/2/2005) from the recyling pile. <quote from page 9> NEW GRIT BLAMED FOR SLPPERY ROADS Hundreds of you have contacted us to say how greasy the roads have been this winter - and MCN can now reveal why. We've discovered that a new additive called Safecote, which is designed to reduce corrosion to behicles and damage to roads, means that salt can stick to the road for 50% longer than narmal, but many councils are using as much as ever. That means they've been spreading salt on top of salt, resulting in a greasy slime. |
