A quick google here shows grit costing 24.5p per kilo or £235 per ton and that is only when you buy it at a ton a time in 25Kg bags. If you were spending £6.6 million you would get a little discount 
HBC's website is suggesting the current population is about 82,220
6600000 / 245 = 26,938 tons of salt they could buy
26938 / 82200 = 0.33 tons per person in Hyndburn or about 20 bags each (16kg bags)
So I think the £6.6 million is rubbish.
It would cost more like £300,000 to give everyone in Hyndburn a 16Kg bag each |
Because My Dear Neil,

Unlike you he gave us no figures to contradict, only his own propaganda.
Thank
you however for what I am sure are absolutely perfect examples of mathematics.
Had he had the foresight to do this himself I possibly wouldn't have said anything.
