Veolia, in partnership with Sutton Council, is inviting residents across the London Borough of Sutton to participate in an exciting competition to name the borough’s three gritting vehicles.
As temperatures fall and wintry weather approaches, these essential teams work through the night across the borough.
Veolia Sutton is offering residents the opportunity to get creative by naming these snow-stopping vehicles. The winning names will be displayed on the front of the gritting vehicles operating throughout the borough, giving successful entrants the opportunity to make their mark on Sutton’s streets.
The competition will be closing on Friday 2 January. Sutton residents can apply by completing this form.
Councillor Christopher Woolmer, Chair of Sutton Council’s Environment Committee, said: “This is a brilliant, fun competition in partnership with Veolia that gives our residents a chance to play a visible role in this vital operation. I encourage everyone, especially our younger residents, to get creative and submit a memorable name that will make their mark on Sutton’s streets this winter.”
Scott Edgell, Divisional Head of Municipal Operations at Veolia Sutton, said: “We’re proud to be delivering essential winter maintenance services in partnership with Sutton Council, including gritting the streets. Our dedicated gritting service is now more sustainable thanks to our newer, more efficient routes that reduce our nightly mileage – as we work to keep Sutton’s roads cleaner and greener for everyone in the community.”
