Refresh your biker skills in 2018
We are encouraging motorcyclists to refresh their riding skills and attend a Biker Down course in 2018.
Biker Down is a free training course for motorcyclists of all ages and experience - and is run by bikers for bikers.
It offers motorcyclists the chance to learn practical skills to help avoid being involved in a crash, as well as essential first-aid training and advice on what to do should they find themselves first on the scene of a crash where someone is injured.

Crewe hotel fined £80,000 for breaching fire safety rules
A hotel in Crewe has been fined £80,000 for breaching fire safety regulations. Hospitality First Two Ltd, which runs the Crewe Arms Hotel, on Nantwich Road, pleaded guilty at Liverpool Magistrates Court to five breaches of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service took the company to court after an inspection in December 2015 led to the Service issuing an immediate prohibition notice which shut the hotel down for a period of two and a half months while they carried out emergency works.

We are teaming up with Cheshire West and Chester Council for a Joint Business Engagement Event on 15th January.
