Chief Constable Peter Fahy and June Webb in the Road Peace Memorial Garden. Greater Manchester Police yesterday (Monday 2 April) launched a campaign urging people not to dice with death on the region’s roads. Recent statistics show that 75 people lost their lives on the roads of Greater Manchester in 2011 compared to 53 in the previous year, an increase of 42 per cent. The increase comes against a background trend of decreasing road deaths that has seen fatalities drop from 90 in 2006 to 53 in 2010 a decrease of more than 40 per cent. Officers say that though there are many factors contributing to the loss of these lives they believe that speeding, drivers and passengers not wearing seatbelts and drivers using mobile phones have played a significant role in many of these deaths. Operation Dice has been set up to tackle drivers putting their own lives and that of passengers and other road users at risk through driving dangerously and flouting speeding, seat belt and mobile phone laws. The campaign asks drivers to slow down, belt up and switch off their mobiles and will be featured on poster, bus side and road side advertising. Chief Constable Peter Fahy said: "The real cost of road collisions is the loss of precious lives and the devastation it causes to the family and friends of the deceased. Their pain and loss can be felt for decades and most people never really get over it. “It can also profoundly affect people who have caused the deaths and can leave them physically and emotionally scarred. “Speed is a major factor in pedestrian fatalities with research showing that those involved in a 30mph collision generally survive while those hit at 40mph do not. I urge drivers to consider this when they get behind the wheel and drive with due care and consideration to weather and road conditions. “Mobile phones, Sat Navs and car stereos distract drivers preventing them paying full attention to driving safely and are a major cause of many collisions. Using the phone while driving, whether hands-free or not is a serious distraction and the safest option is to switch it off before you start the car. “Drivers should also ensure that they and everyone in their vehicle is wearing a seat belt however short the journey." The campaign is being supported by June Webb who lost her daughter Jodie Webb on her 21st birthday in August 2000 in a road collision. Jodie’s friend Joanne Greenwood also aged 21 also lost her life in the crash. The launch of the campaign took place at the Road Peace Memorial Garden in Beswick, set up in memory of Jodie and Joanne and others who have lost their lives on our roads.

Have you ever walked into a room and thought to yourself, "This seems strangely familiar"? You find yourself hit with an unexpected sense of deja vu that really gets you wondering why the scene seems so recognizable.

Vu and I spent Mother’s Day picking strawberries at the Carlsbad Strawberry Company. I was surprised to see such a big crowd! I thought people would be home preparing for BBQs or taking their moms

I first published this post five years ago but when I sat down tonight to write a whole new post about how to reduce food waste, it felt a bit like deja vu and then I remembered this post and thought it would be easier just to give that a polish up and and share …
For a moment there was a sense of déjà vu and I thought the Papyrus was a refined View Trans. Apparently I was wrong; while the View Trans was a digital visual translating device, the Papyrus is a medium to view historical buildings and sites with a restored vision. Kinda was-before and is-now images using
If you’re suddenly experiencing a sense of Deja Vu, it may be because you read Issue 3 of our magazine, where these two beautiful humans were first featured. With so many more stunning images to share however, we thought their story deserved a re-run. After a long courtship before walking down the aisle, Rhys and […]
