As the temperatures drop, you can expect to see Surrey’s brand-new fleet of 38 gritters heading out on Surrey’s roads to keep the county moving and keep you safe.
The 38 new vehicles operate more efficiently, have state-of-the art technology on board and produce less carbon emissions.
They will grit Surrey’s roads before and during severe weather, using the 10,000 tonnes of salt stored at our four Surrey depots. This programme typically begins in October and runs until the end of March, although this period can be extended depending on weather conditions.
A spokesperson for SCC said; “To find out what roads are being gritted in your area, check out the Surrey winter online map, or for more information about salting including when, where and why we salt, visit the salting routes web page.
“It’s not been without your help though – 400 residents including children from Surrey’s schools have helped us name the new fleet.”
