Some great suggestions!
Salt of the Earth and Thaw Patrol are among the funny names chosen for Northamptonshire gritters. The fleet operates out of Wellingborough with the gritting season running from October until mid-April.
This reduces the carbon produced from combustion engines by up to 90%. They also have new technology to ensure routes are treated on time and that salt is used where it is needed most - in an attempt at reducing costs.
Run throughout January, the online competition has attracted hundreds of suggestions. From March, the fleet of 10 vehicles will have names suggested by residents and school classes from across North Northants. The winners have been chosen by the winter team who had a lively debate on what names should appear on their vehicles. John Coombes, general manager at Kier Highways, added: "It’s great to see the response from local schools. Entries never fail to raise a smile, and we’re delighted with our newly-named line-up.
