Did you know?

Children and adults are less likely to use seat belts on short or familiar journeys – putting them at serious risk of injury in a crash.

THINK! has more information on the laws on wearing a seatbelt, learn more here: https://t.co/7Y2d2OlTOp

Cycling keeps us fit, lowers our carbon emissions, and boosts our mental wellbeing!

That’s why we’re making it easier to cycle around the region, with better cycle lanes and our Leeds City Bikes.

Are you a woman living or working in Pudsey or Farsley?

West Yorkshire Police has introduced a pilot in Leeds, which invites women to meet with local Neighbourhood Police Officers and PCSOs to show them areas in which they feel vulnerable or unsafe in their local communities.

Hi everyone, I’m afraid I bear some sad news. Most of you will know Dave has been fighting cancer for the past couple of years. Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Dave’s wife, his family, close friend David and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home. All who knew Dave are devastated at his passing. His beloved wife brought him such happiness as did her children, Iza and Sergiu who Dave loved like his own.

Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment. My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can’t follow. I will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime. I wish you god’s speed brother; you are and will remain a beacon in this world. See you on the other side. Love ya.

I know Dave and his family would want me to thank all of you who sent messages of support in recent times. It meant the world to him, his family and all The Hairy Bikers team. I am sending you all much love and gratitude for those simple acts of kindness, generosity and spirit. We are eternally grateful for them.

May I ask you all for one further kindness and allow Lili, his wife, his family, close friends and I some time and some peace to process our huge loss. I am sure I will see you all soon.

Love Si x

Car seat checking with @GoodEggSafety 🚗

At our last car seat check event in Moortown, childminder and mum Marie said:

🗣️"Please pass on to other childminders and parents that it's brilliant - they did a thorough check and gave great advice. It's worth doing!"
