Gritting services for Craigavon businesses
Craigavon's industrial estates, Craigavon Area Hospital and the Rushmere retail area make it one of the biggest employment centres outside Belfast. The flat, low-lying land near Lough Neagh is prone to freezing fog and long-lasting ground frost.
Craigavon is far enough inland that clear, still nights regularly bring frost. Precautionary gritting before dawn is the only reliable way to keep car parks and footpaths safe for early arrivals.
