Pupils show true grit

GLASGOW pupils celebrated winning a competition to name new gritting lorries.

The youngsters from Additional Supported Needs (ASN) primary schools saw the names they chose emblazoned on the gritters during a tour of the depot to learn about winter services.

Scotland TranServ, the roads maintenance operator for South West Scotland, invited the winners to the Polmadie depot.

More than 20 ASN schools in Glasgow entered the competition, which asked children to design a winter-themed picture with a name of their choice, including Snowball and Sparkle.
