Featured Story
Suffolk Highways' gritting season began on 1 October and runs through to the end of April, with a host of improvements brought in this year.
Among those is a new GPS system, Exactrak, which means navigators are not needed for gritter drivers; an increased rota of drivers and supervisors available; and the ability to spread salt at 40mph, instead of the 30mph limit of previous years on appropriate roads.
More than 22,000 tonnes of salt are stocked across the county's eight depots ready to tackle the ice on more than 4,000 miles of road.
