Powys fire station to hold traffic collision demonstration to highlight road safety after numerous collisions
Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service will be holding a road traffic collision demonstration at Newtown Fire Station on Saturday, May 16.
It comes after several significant collisions on Powys roads in recent months
Between 10am and 3pm, members of the local community are invited to visit the Fire Station and engage with a variety of emergency services and partners, including Dyfed-Powys Police and the Welsh Ambulance Service, to learn more about driving and road safety initiatives.
The live demonstration will begin at 10.30am.
The Fatal Five refers to the five main causes of road traffic collisions and injuries in Wales.
Most people abide by the rules of the road but unfortunately, a small minority put themselves, their families and innocent road users at risk.
The five main causes include careless driving, not wearing a seatbelt, drink and drug driving, using a mobile phone while driving and speeding
Refreshments including burger and chips will be available courtesy of the Rapid Relief Team with donations welcomed.
Please visit Eventbrite to book your space on this event.
The event will be held at Newtown Fire Station, Llanidloes Road, Newtown, Powys, SY16 1HF and parking will be available at Newtown Evangelical Church, Llanidloes Road, Newtown SY16 1HL (please note there will be no parking available at the Fire Station).
