Roads chiefs are showing true grit to get Renfrewshire ready for winter.
Preparations are well underway and the council has been squirrelling away grit to de-ice the roads network when the time comes.
There has been 3,700 tonnes of the salty stuff stored in preparation for Renfrewshire’s famous gritters – the likes of Ploughlo Grittini, Tony Gritzpatrick and Thawin’ Batty – to take into their bellies and disperse on frozen thoroughfares when the mercury drops below zero.
