GRITTING lorries are out and about on Essex’s roads in preparation for winter.
Essex County Council has fully stocked up on salt in all its depots, drawn up rotas for drivers and serviced all its gritters.
Lorry drivers have been out on the county’s roads making sure they know all the gritting routes. Further “dry runs” on key routes are planned for later this month.
Winter salting routes can be viewed at essexhighways.org
