Look after each other and share the roads safely with riders.

Go SLOW, WIDE and QUIETLY around horses.

9/10 drivers wear a seat belt – make it 10/10.

Seat belts save lives, so buckle up.

Share the roads: Look, check and look again.

When getting out of a vehicle open the door with your far hand and look back as you open the door.

We’ve set a balanced budget for 2026-27.

Our budget protects services for children and older people and supports residents’ priorities including road maintenance, keeping streets clean and safe, and improving the local environment.

Smaller cars = lower charges

In the spring we’ll be consulting on proposed changes to parking charges that would base the cost of residents' parking permits on vehicle size.
