Just a short note to bring your attention to a road safety theatre production which is being delivered in Broughton High School on Tuesday 28^th 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.
