<b>GLOBAL GRITTING: </b>MORE than 150,000 miles have been covered by Worcestershire Highways gritting crews – a distance equal to six times around the world – so far this winter in the effort to keep roads open and people moving.
This winter has proved to be one of the most challenging yet with temperatures regularly plummeting below zero.
The County Council’s gritting teams have covered 150,579 miles in total, heading out 57 times during the 2017/18 winter season so far. This is up 18 times on last year.
In addition, this year snow ploughs have been sent out five times clearing up to 14 inches of snow, with drifting at its worst of 8-10 feet.
