Gritting services for Newtownabbey businesses
Mallusk, Global Point and the industrial estates along the M2 and M5 run shifts through the night, so yards, gatehouses and loading bays need to be treated before the early shift, not after it. The ground rising towards Carnmoney Hill and Cave Hill is noticeably colder than the lough shore.
Newtownabbey 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.
