Gritters

As well as the fleet of emergency response vehicles, we have 240 gritters doing enhanced patrols of the trunk road network, spreading salt and ploughing snow from 42 depots across the country.

The gritter tracker is once again up and running, letting people see where our gritters have been carrying out treatments.
