OXFORDSHIRE is set to receive a fresh delivery of salt for its roads today.

Rodney Rose, County Hall’s cabinet member for transport, said road conditions should now improve, but urged drivers to remain cautious.

He said: “We have a new load of salt arriving, which should now give us a good stock.

“Temperatures are also beginning to increase, so we should now start to see an improvement in road conditions.

“However, temperatures could drop below freezing during the night this weekend and there is still the possibility of some ice. I would urge people to remain cautious.”
