I can now exclusively reveal the winner:
Quote:
Oldham Council has named its new gritter Nicole Saltslinger after the X-factor judge and former Pussycat Doll.
Ten-year-old Eve McGrath came up with the name, which beat off the challenge from hundreds of other competition entries including Gritney Houston, Grit Expectations and Gritsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Anti-Slip Machiney.
The primary school pupil, who is a big fan of the singer Nicole Scherzinger, was invited to a special naming ceremony at the council depot.
The new lorry will now join a fleet of gritters including Freddie Salted, Walter the Salter and Gritney Spears.
