Last chance, teachers! Could your pupils come up with the names for our new winter gritting trucks?

Closing on Monday, 9 November,: Just before half-term we put the call out for names for our seven new gritting trucks.

This is your reminder that you have until 12 noon on Monday to submit your pupils' best names.

Children must be between the ages of 5 - 11 and their suggestions should have a wintery feel and be no more than three words long.

Submissions can be made on this online form.

The winning entries will have the chosen name written on one of our new gritters as well as the name of the winning school. This will stay on the gritter for the remainder of its lifetime.

The winning names will be announced in the coming weeks on social media and via e-Courier.

The fleet currently includes gritting vehicles with these names:


  • Blitzen Blaster - Caister Junior School, Caister-on-Sea.
  • Boudica - Falcon Junior School, Norwich.
  • Chittygrittybangbang - Thorpe House Langley Prep School, Norwich.
