That has to be a mistake surely.

I'd be absolutely hopping mad

Hi
no mistake! but it turns out a good reason
A heating oil tanker had a problem and lost oil over about six miles!
so it seems the best thing was to send a spreader, they were out with sand today to soak up some more
first time ive seen this but better safe and all that
regards Paul

Sand I can understand, but salt for an oil spill

It is probably cement . This is widely used in motor racing for oil spills . Or it could be Fuller's Earth

Ah yes, that brings back childhood memories. It will be for the chapped lips the council workers acquired sucking the oil off the road.
