Island Roads will be deploying its fleet of gritters tomorrow morning (Wednesday) as temperatures drop across the Isle of Wight.
The fleet will treat the local road network from 04:00, just before the majority of Islanders wake up and head to work/school.
Island Roads is advising motorists to take extra care when driving with icy surfaces possible. You can find out which roads will be treated at https://www.islandecho.co.uk/gritting-routes/.
You can read more about the work of the gritting team at https://www.islandecho.co.uk/gritters-at-the-ready-as-island-roads-crew-gear-up-for-winter-season/ and in the video below…
Gritting is the only thing Island Roads are good at.
Must be due to having a good leader
Mr Dave Wallis
