During surfacing works carried out across Central Bedfordshire in summer 2025, CCTV captured drivers ignoring temporary red lights and putting highway workers and other road users at risk.
As a result, 20 drivers were identified and have since been successfully prosecuted 🚧🚦

🚛❄️ Winter is coming... and we're ready! Our gritters are serviced, our drivers are trained, and our salt stores are stocked. Last winter, each gritting run covered more than 600 miles - the equivalent of Dunstable to Paris and back. Take a look behind the scenes at Thorn depot.
