Lincolnshire: First run of year for county’s gritters

Lincolnshire County Council’s fleet of gritters went out on their first test run of the year at the weekend.

Some 43 gritters emerged from depots at Sturton, Willingham, Manby, Horncastle, Ancaster, Thurlby, Chainbridge and Pode Hole.

The council checked they were all working correctly and that the winter response team was well prepared.
