In October we asked people to help us name our fleet of 25 gritters. We had a brilliant response, with more than 750 suggestions made.
Five of the gritters have already been named: Zac Oliver, Jack Edwards and Charlie Desmond were named in 2018 and will keep their names. This year we have already chosen to name gritters after The Harry Johnson Trust and Percy Mullaly. That leaves 20 names still to be chosen.
We’ve considered all of the suggestions and have drawn up a shortlist of 50 names. Now we need you to vote for your favourites to help decide the winning names.

How to vote
The 50 names have been placed into five groups of ten names. We simply want you to vote for up to four in each group. The four most popular names in each group (20 names in total) will then be given to our gritters. Voting opens at 10am on Wednesday 18 November and ends at midday on 25 November., with the winning names announced shortly afterwards.
