Better Late Than Dead On Time: road safety theatre at Broughton

Hi Folks

Just a short note to bring your attention to a road safety theatre production which is being delivered in Broughton High School on Tuesday 28th March at 7pm. It’s a free event (refreshments provided as well) and is open to all ages as well as local adults or school staff. 

Given the amount of concerns about accidents/road crimes/road safety etc. I think we’ve timed this perfectly and it should be of huge benefit to the local area.

If you’ve any queries please don’t’ hesitate to give myself, Helen Bourquin or Elaine Lennon (both copied into this email for your info) a shout and we’ll do what we can to answer them!

Best wishes

Callum
