Roads affected by high temperatures again

Roads affected by high temperatures again
By Emma Philo Sat, 18 August 2012 6:50PM

High temperatures over the weekend could once again lead to more spreading of granite chippings on the Island's roads.

The Isle of Wight Council says it's possible that surfaces could be treated on Sunday and/or Monday.

In a statement, the authority said: "This process, if necessary, should ensure all roads remain open although there may be some delays while the granite chippings are laid if required."

It added that any works that might be needed would be carried out at the expense of the contractor.
