The first freeze up of the winter's here and so are the gritting lorries - except they don't just spread grit any more, they spread tonnes and tonnes of salt.
We don't have that many hills in Norfolk but they've still got 10,000 tonnes of the stuff stockpiled.
Each night's gritting run uses more than 300 tonnes of it.
So what happens to all this salt after they've spread it on the roads..? It gets washed away with all the rain and sleet and it finds its way into our rivers.
I've no idea what the consequences of this are but I doubt they're good.
