    Avoid winter blunderland

    POLICE are carrying out roadside checks on vehicles this weekend to help ensure motorists are prepared for winter driving.

    Officers are also visiting shopping centres in the force area to offer road safety advice as part of the Get Ready for Winter weekend.

    The campaign, which got under way yesterday and runs until Monday, will see officers carrying out checks to make sure vehicles are roadworthy for the winter months.

    "New-style shovels and snow ploughs have been issued to all staffed stations to help clear snow from platforms and walkways, and equipment used by roving station maintenance teams has been increased."

    Not forgetting -

    "Other measures to be considered include sending shovels and even mini-tractors to local communities to let them help them clear snow in their area themselves."

    Bet they've decided against the bit I've put in bold!
