Lincolnshire County Council is inviting residents to help name the gritters that will be out and about on Lincolnshire’s roads – can you do better than Gritty McGritface and Spread-ie Mercury?

A number of counties have already come up with some great names for their gritters, but we’re sure Lincolnshire can do better.Councillor Clio Perraton-Williams, Executive Support Councillor for Highways

Over the next two weeks the County Council is looking for residents to put ideas forward with the best being selected to go onto the Council’s gritters.

Councillor Clio Perraton-Williams, Executive Support Councillor for Highways, said: “A number of counties have already come up with some great names for their gritters, but we’re sure Lincolnshire can do better.

“We’re looking for something creative and original – Gritty McGritface just isn’t going to cut it.

“And you’ll get extra points if can come with something Lincolnshire-related, like Al-Spread Lord Tennyson, Mar-Grit Thatcher or Danny Plough-ley.

You can share your suggestions with the Council on Facebook and Twitter by using the hashtag #WittyGritty by midday on Friday 14 December 2018.
