Particularly at this time of year, finances can be very tight and there can be a temptation to resort to unlicensed loan providers. These loan sharks are illegal and charge astronomical interest rates which can result in further debt and stress.

Not everyone finds Christmas 'Merry'!

If you are finding things a struggle @samaritans are there to help.

Reach out - No matter what time of day or night DON'T struggle alone.

At this time of year, with upcoming works parties and nights out, be sure you don't make the mistake of being tempted to drink and drive.
Leave your car at home and take a train or book a taxi.
Enjoy the Christmas season safely.

Drinking and driving costs lives.

It's never worth it.
Enjoy yourselves sensibly and don't be tempted into taking the risk.
Cheshire Police have a zero tolerance for drink driving.

Neighbourhood watch is a great way to keep in touch with local crime trends and for neighbours to look out for each other.

The map shows where schemes are in place within the Whitby Ward - We'd really like to see lots more.

🍻 Out enjoying the festive season? 🍻

❌🚗Leave the car at home.🚗❌

Is it really worth the cost of that last drink?

A fine? Your licence? Your job? A life? A prison sentence?
