They’ve already got Basil Salty, Gritasaurus, Captain Snow, Holly Chilloughby and Albert Icestein on hand so is it time for Professor Chris Gritty or Nicole Saltslinger?

You can enter LCC’s competition to name a new gritter by Friday, October 29.Full entry details can be found HERE and we’ve rounded up some of the best suggestions below.
