Stretford Road Safety Success

Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) joined forces with Greater Manchester Police, North West Ambulance Service, Trafford Council's Road Safety Unit and various other organisations for the day to raise awareness of road safety. Students from Trafford College gave demonstrations on how to check your car is safe while volunteers from local bike companies carried out free maintenance checks and repairs, helped by the Trafford Youth Offending Team.
