Lincolnshire salt workers cover almost 30,000 people during cold snap

Council leader Darrell Redford described the cold snap as “pretty brutal”.

“We’ve never seen road temperatures this low, this early in the year,” he said.

“Thankfully our forecast data was absolutely accurate and our salting teams worked very hard around the clock in the right areas to keep many roads open across Lincolnshire.”

Some of the county’s sand trucks are named after famous Lincolnshire residents, including Spread Arrows, Sir Ice-ac Newton and Mar-grit Thatcher.

Snow and ice caused disruptions across the county last week.

A number of schools have closed and some public transport has been disrupted.
