If you're going to the river:

• Take notice & follow all riverside signage & warnings signalling dangers and hazards – they're there to keep you safe

• If paddling; wear a life jacket, carry a phone, tell others where you are going and always paddle within your ability.

Rivers are great places to have fun, however...

If you see someone in trouble in the water: Phone – Float – Throw.

🔹Phone 999 to get help.
🔹Tell them to stay calm and float on their back.
🔹Throw rescue equipment to help them float until emergency services arrive.

We were out last week in a multi-agency operation tackling rural crime across the region.

We stopped around 20 vehicles which were carrying waste, identified five unregistered waste carriers, three potential illegal waste sites, and one concerning permitted site.
