Winter is here! First gritting of the hill tonight thanks to Jarrod and Mick.
We could do with a few more volunteers to help the drivers load up and do the run. If you could help please get in touch 252603. Anne

The hill has been gritted tonight and I’d like to thank Andrew, who went out on an inaugural run as driver, and Mick for doing it. Hopefully that will be the last this winter. Anne

The hill has been gritted tonight but it was a close thing. Our drivers were busy/ unavailable and it was only down to Jarrod being prepared to break off what he was doing that it was done. An example of why we need more drivers! So, grateful thanks to Jarrod and also to Andy who joined the team for the first time. Anne

Grateful thanks to Matt and David for going out tonight to grit the hill. As they had a bit left over they used it to ensure access to the Bridford Inn…… Anne

No notification but I’ve just spotted a DCC Gritter doing the hill. I’m guessing he went as far as the phone box. Anne

Jarrod and Mick have just been out to try and get the grit down before the promised snow. However, I’ve just received a “Don’t travel unless your journey is really necessary“ from the Police Alert Service. Highways are doing the Primary Routes at least four times, no indication as to whether they’re proposing to do any Secondary Routes. Anne

I’d like to thank Sam for going out tonight to do the hill. I’ve just been told that we qualify for Secondary Gritting tomorrow morning too, that means they expect very poor conditions. Anne

I’d like to thank Dom and Matt for going out tonight to do the hill. Even though they’ve gritted it be careful in the morning as any change in the weather could still produce ice. Anne

Our thanks to Jarrod and Will who’ve been out tonight to grit the hill. Anne
