Spot of filming with Simon Headley ahead of hospitality reopening outdoors in April 🍻 ☀️ Making sure our local businesses are informed of their responsibilities & how to stay safe #saferpeoplesaferplaces

Due to there being a very large amount of rain fall overnight, please do take extra care, avoid flooded roads and take an alternative route. #saferpeoplesaferplaces #callsandmore

👀 Can you spot all the hazards here? Sometimes it's not always obvious.

✅ When near water, stay away from the edge, take your time and leave plenty of space if you’re passing others.
