Maybe you could make use of this service...although not if you're offended by swearing.

The salt is not especially good for any trees close by. It doesn't just disappear, it seeps into the ground..
Now, Steve, don't spoil their shackeltonian sense of dealing with all sorts of extreme conditions. They're working on developing a new temperate-arctic zone salt-loving mangrove variant to replace all existing trees. Testing is well advanced in Railway Fields and St Ann's Hospital. The new species will appear under the generic name 'womangrovia harringaensis'.
I have no idea what you're talking about OAE and I'm usually pretty good at following your ruminations. In my case, not so much Shackleton, more Hyacinth Bucket. Not all my elderly neighbours are equipped with snow boots and the Snow Walking sticky things that I've seen you using, scaling the north face of Warham Hill on your way to Iceland.
Steve, I doubt that they small amounts of salt being scattered on pavements by residents are going to affect the few scraggy trees that remain to us and there are no trees in the passage.
One thing that did come up today which I'd never thought about was the care dog owners need to take if they walk their dogs on gritted roads. They should wash the paws of their animals thoroughly after walks as the grit/salt is bad for them if they lick it off.
