Wiltshire Council's High Post salt store is being used to "accommodate an increase in need"
A refrigeration unit has been set up at Wiltshire Council's High Post salt store, by the A345, near Salisbury. It was first used on 4 January and will remain open for as long as extra capacity is needed, with round-the-clock security on site, it added. The High Post Salt Store is owned by Wiltshire Council, and leader Richard Clewer said the site was "private and an appropriate location to provide this facility".
