We’re going to make like snow and drift (for a little while anyway). We’re making some changes to this channel over the next few months so like the snow in January, stick around. It turns out we’re not just for winter 😉 ❄️

Following the snowy week at the start of 2025, our teams were out once again refilling the 1450 grit bins across the district. Since then, we’ve had little snow, so the bins are ready for next winter 🌨️. (Don’t worry, they'll be checked before next season too.)

Recently, the Blue Origin Spacecraft went 62 miles into “space” 🚀 Meanwhile, Kirklees gritted 624 miles of highways🛣️ 51 times. That’s almost 32k miles 😮. What can we say other than we just feel super connected to grit ✨

Remember your sunnies 😎
Sudden glare from the sun can be unexpected. When you’re going a little too fast, you have less time to react. THINK! #IsPushingItWorthIt
