Somerset County Council's fleet of 23 gritters is ready to be mobilised as soon as the temperature drops below zero in coming months.

Salt barns across Somerset are fully stocked and this week the gritters headed out on a trial run across the county's network. The team is on standby to treat 900 miles of road when the mercury plummets.

This year a call is going out to farmers across Somerset to support the Council's winter services with snow ploughing duties should conditions become challenging. Farmers are paid for this important work they undertake to support their communities.
