Deputy First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones, has said the Welsh Assembly Government will do everything to help local authorities deal with the current big freeze, which could last for a further two weeks.
"We fully understand the pressures due to the severe weather,” he said.
"We will do what we can to assist those who require additional stocks of salt on a priority basis, even though the government's responsibility is to maintain the trunk road network."
