Gritters are ready to hit the road whenever they are needed.
After ploughing through the name suggestions for Lincolnshire County Council’s four biggest gritters The Lincolnite compiled a list of some of the best suggestions from readers.
As previously reported, people can put their ideas forward to the council over the next two weeks, through Facebook or on Twitter using the hashtag #WittyGritty.
For a rapid service maybe Usain Salt would be rather apt, but let’s try and impress councillors, including Gritchard Davies with more suggestions.
Entires must be in by midday on Friday, December 14.
A truly grit Yellowbellis effort:
