The gritters covering South Holland’s roads have been blessed ahead of their winter programme.
The annual service took place at Lincolnshire County Council’s Highways Alliance depot in Pode Hole.
There are six gritting routes out of Pode Hole and a spare gritter to cover for breakdowns, making a total of seven lorries.
