Keeping an eye on your pets is particularly important during winter months. Grit, salt and antifreeze are toxic to animals and can have some nasty side effects. Check paws are clean and free of redness after venturing outside.

Clear pavements are essential for blind and partially sighted people, however, most report parking on pavements as a regular issue.
The impact is that people with sight loss cannot see the obstruction until it is too late and collide!

If the traffic lights are flashing outside a fire station, please stop and let the engines out. As the original post says it is an offence to ignore the lights.
Guildford Fire Station are experiencing an issue with road users ignoring the station traffic lights. ❗
The lights flash when the crew is responding to an incident, ensuring the traffic stops.
Ignoring them carries the same penalty as driving through any other red light.
