Cheshire Fire And Rescue Newsletter-December Edition
With Christmas almost upon us here’s a timely message from Cheshire Fire and Rescue. Below you will see their latest Cheshire Fire and Rescue Newsletter. In it you will see some helpful tips and advice. Some may seem straightforward and routine but they are still worth a mention. Take drinking and driving for instance. Don’t even think about doing it. Not even thinking of having a sneaky “safe” only one or two. No such thing. Keep away from drink driving completely.
Here’s something we were talking about in the pub last week as it happens. If you knew of a drink driver and you knew they had a few, would you feel obliged to report them? Or to ask them to not drink and drive. The acid test for me is if anyone was hurt as a result of an accident with a drink driver and you didn’t report them, or try to stop them, could you live with that? As there is a fair chance an accident may occur, it’s a no brainer for most people I would imagine.
Anyway, on to the December Newsletter. Thanks yet again to John in Blacon for the very useful round up.

Safety Central now has even more in store for visitors.
Lifeskills education at our award-winning learning centre has become even more interactive. This is thanks to a generous early Christmas present from a major national retailer.
Working with its construction partners, the Co-op has installed a realistic new mock convenience store at Safety Central in Lymm. It will be used to teach thousands of schoolchildren, young people and community groups about a range of important safety and lifestyle issues. Including healthy eating, food labelling, age restrictions on certain products and the impact and implications of shoplifting and anti-social behaviour.
The investment of over £30,000 has created a lifelike set featuring shop fittings, signage, a counter and a working till that you would expect to find in a real Co-op store.
