Today is #WorldStrokeDay. The first sign of a stroke might not seem like much. Like - not being able to raise your arm. Or struggling to smile. Or slurring when you speak. Any sign of a stroke is always an emergency, at the first sign, call 999. nhs.uk/actFAST

Warnings for strong winds are in place for parts of the UK over the next couple of days. If you are travelling here are some simple steps you can follow to ensure that you stay safe. bit.ly/3VZqfqU #WeatherReady
Be prepared for traveling when it's windy. Listen out for travel updates. Give more room to vulnerable road users. Stick to main routes where you are less likely to be exposed to fallen branches or debris

Driving in windy weather can be extremely hazardous. Gusts of wind can unsettle your vehicle. Grip your steering wheel firmly with both hands, this is particularly important if overtaking.
