⚠️ Flood warning ⚠️

Please take extra care as many of the parks and leisure routes across Milton Keynes are currently in flood.

Yesterday we were at MK College Group Bletchley Campus as part of their student conference. We spoke to the students in a breakout session and also acted as facilitators to support a student discussion on the college’s code of conduct, along with TVP Milton Keynes

Hit by a car at 20mph 9 out of 10 pedestrians will survive.
At 30 mph, about half of the pedestrians will be killed.
At 40mph 9 out of 10 pedestrians will be killed.
Taking off those extra mph is vital in reducing fatalities on our roads. #ItsNotWorthTheRisk

A new driver can have their driving licence revoked in the first two years if they get 6 points.
Having a licence is a privilege with responsibilities, you need to drive in a way that keeps you and others safe. #DriveSafeNotSpeedy #ItsNotWorthTheRisk
