LIVE SIMPLY Tip of the Week Stick at 70 mph on motorways instead of cruising at 80–85 mph. Not only is it illegal, but fuel costs can go up by as much as 4p/5p a mile for small cars. According to the Slower Speed initiative driving at 50 mph instead of 70 mph can reduce fuel consumption further by 30%
Fairtrade Fortnight is 27th Feb to 12th March. We will have information stalls at both churches this Sunday & next. Look out for special offers on Fairtrade goods around the area during this period
