Gritters are set to head out for the first time this winter.

Temperatures are set to plummet tonight in Buckinghamshire, with temperatures expected to fall to 5 degrees.

As such, the county council is planning to send the gritters out this evening, the first time this winter season. 

"The weather is definitely turning colder!", said the council on Twitter.

They wrote: "Our gritters will be out across the county tonight gritting major roads to keep everyone safe on their Monday morning commute."
