💚 Mental health matters! 🫂
If you or someone you know is struggling, don't hesitate to reach out for help. You’re not alone.
🚑 We have specialist paramedics trained to help in a mental health crisis and, in non-emergency situations, you can call NHS 111 to access the mental health phoneline.

⚠️Flood water warning⚠️
Due to heavy rain, various areas, particularly around fords, have been subject to flooding. Please AVOID driving through flood water.
We've already had to respond to a vehicle which entered water and became stranded in the Northfield area this morning.

Shopping this weekend for Valentine's Day?
Don't forget to buy some battery candles. They reduce the risk of an accidental fire and mean you only have to concentrate on one flame #ValentinesDay

You’re more likely to die in a fire in your home if there are no working smoke alarms. Install at least one on every floor of your home and test them monthly. For more fire safety information, visit gov.uk/firekills #FireKills

Keep your little ones safe on the road: kids under 12 or under 135cm must use a child car seat. Over 12 or taller than 135cm? They must wear a seatbelt.
