Your opportunity to name a West Dunbartonshire gritter as they prepare to hit the roads

West Dunbartonshire’s gritters are gearing up to start their winter shift again – but they need new names.

Residents are being encouraged to enter a competition to come up with creative titles with a West Dunbartonshire twist for the eight vehicles.

The best entries will be printed on the side of the gritting fleet – meaning they will be displayed all over West Dunbartonshire.

The competition is now open and closes on Sunday, November 1.

Primary and secondary schools pupils are also being invited to enter the naming challenge.

Councillor Iain McLaren, convener of infrastructure, regeneration and economic development, said: “I hope residents are feeling creative and I look forward to seeing the suggested names, especially those that have a connection to West Dunbartonshire, our history and our people.”

Councillor Marie McNair, vice convener, added: “We take our responsibility to keep West Dunbartonshire moving throughout winter extremely seriously, but this competition gives residents the chance to get involved, have a bit of fun and maybe even see their handiwork on display throughout our area.”
