Tuning into the @BBCBreakfast this chilly morning, we were met by a fantastic story on gritting with @DurhamCouncil.
As the ice continues to set in across the UK, thank you to the BBC for outlining the importance of gritting to the millions watching ❄️

Econ under the lights 🌌✨
Sent in by Ian Sinclair, this stunning image captures one of our gritters under the northern lights, or the aurora borealis, at the top of Berriedale Braes – 40 miles south of John o' Groats.
We love seeing where our fleet has ventured 🗺

Tomorrow, our machines will once again have the honour of laying the sand on the roads of central London for King Charles III's coronation – making the surface suitable for the royal horses and procession.
We can't wait to be involved in another momentous national occasion🇬🇧👑

What a winter it’s been!
The 2022/23 winter season saw plenty of frost and snow across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales!
Whether after dark on an evening or early each cold morning, Econ gritters have been out clearing and de-icing our roads – keeping our roads moving 💪
