THREE years on from the opening of London's Millennium Dome Bromsgrove is about to get asimilar landmark of its own.
But there is no controversy surrounding this structure, in the course of being built at the county council's depot near the Lydiate Ash island.
It will be used to store 1,600 tones of rock salt to treat icy roads in the district.
Des Smith Worcestershire County Council's highway engineering manager said the construction work is set to be completed in about two weeks' time.
The dome will prevent the huge mound of crushed salt held in readiness for treating roads from leaching into water courses and to stop it becoming lumpy and clogging the gritting machinery.
The Bromsgrove depot is one of six county wide from where 1,350 km of main roads are treated in bad weather at a cost of £10,000 per operation.
It is the only one not to have had a storage facility.
