Missed out on #Glasto tickets? There's more to #Somerset than just the best festival in the world! 😉

Why not take a trip to Somerset to explore the stunning landscapes and historic charm instead? You might even find a hidden gem that beats the festival buzz! ✨

Since the start of 2023, 121 road users in Avon and Somerset have lost their lives in fatal road traffic collisions. The vast majority of these involved one or more of the Fatal Five.

The choices we make behind the wheel matter.

There's excitement in Somerset today as @SomersetWaste have announced that local residents can now include toothpaste tubes in their blue recycling bags.

Our Senior Resource Management Specialist, Adam Herriott joined @CharlieTaylor4 on @BBCSomerset to share the work we've been doing with toothpaste brands to make their tubes recyclable and why @SomersetCouncil are leading the way by accepting toothpaste tubes in home recycling.

Wearing a seat belt reduces the risk of death for drivers by 50% and yet 4 unbelted young people were killed or seriously injured every week in 2022.

Something as simple as clicking your seat belt could save your life, and the lives of your friends.

Going out tonight? Think about what’s at stake if you drink and drive—not just your licence, but your job and career too.

Think you’re okay to drive after a drink? Alcohol’s effects vary with your size, age, stress levels—even what you had for dinner. Don’t risk it. #DrinkALittleRiskALot

[Nick Cowling @Parsecs7]

@GeniusSomerset @PNH_Hotelier @SheppysCider @visit_taunton Wow, I hope so too

[THINK! Road Safety @THINKgovuk]

Here's your reminder this #RoadSafetyWeek to avoid alcohol if you're getting behind the wheel. Don't risk your licence - or even injuring yourself and others.

A collision could happen to anyone, no matter how experienced a driver you are. You only have to lose control once. Slow down on Scotland's roads.

A video resource, grounded in behavioural change theory, has been developed to help reduce the use of hands-free phones by professional drivers, by debunking the myth that it is safer than using a hand-held device.
