🌙🚶‍♀️ Darker Nights, Safer Communities 🚶‍♂️🌙

As the evenings get darker, it's important to take a few simple steps to stay safe when out and about.

✅ Stick to well-lit routes where possible
✅ Let someone know where you're going and when you'll be home
✅ Avoid distractions such as walking whilst looking at your phone
✅ Keep valuables out of sight
✅ Wear bright or reflective clothing when walking, running or cycling to help you be seen by other road users
✅ Trust your instincts. If something doesn't feel right, move to a safe place and call for help if needed

Parents and carers are also encouraged to speak with young people about personal safety, particularly when travelling to and from school, work, or social activities during the darker evenings.

Remember, if you witness suspicious activity or have concerns about crime in your area, please report it to us. In an emergency, always call 999.

By taking a few extra precautions, we can all help keep ourselves and our communities safe this winter.
