Darker Nights: Stay Safe This Autumn

Darker Nights: Stay Safe This Autumn

With the clocks changing soon and evenings getting darker earlier, we are encouraging everyone to take a few simple steps to stay safe.

Drivers should take extra care around schools, crossings, and residential streets, particularly during morning and afternoon drop off times when visibility can be reduced. Pedestrians and cyclists are encouraged to wear bright or reflective clothing where possible and remain alert when crossing roads.

The darker nights can also create opportunities for crime. Please ensure homes, vehicles, and outbuildings are locked and secured, and report any suspicious activity to police.

Let's work together to keep our communities safe throughout the autumn and winter months. Stay visible, stay vigilant, and look out for one another.
