Outdoor Gym Equipment Survey is now LIVE!

📢 Our Gym Equipment survey is now live! A recent survey on potential community use development at Marston Field indicated that residents would like a bike pump track, new play equipment including a new zip wire and an outdoor gym. As part of our consultation process, we’d like your opinions on potential gym equipment, including accessible and Stay Fit equipment to help you keep active for longer. There will be other consultations for the play equipment, and anyone wishing to join a focus group (particularly disabled, young people or other underrepresented groups) will be very welcome.

Award winning safety workshops for bikers

A group of volunteers from across the emergency services are coming together to deliver free, award-winning motorcycle safety workshops in Staffordshire.
Called ‘Biker Down’, the workshops will see a team of presenters and serving officers sharing their specialist knowledge and experience around operational motorcycling, advanced first-aid and collision investigation. They are aimed at motorcyclists of all ages and experiences and are completely free of charge.
The workshops will consist of three modules: scene safety, casualty care and rider skills. Each participant will receive a bespoke first aid kit, designed to be carried on a motorcycle, along with a Biker Down pin badge.
The sessions will be taking place on the following dates at Staffordshire Police HQ:
Sunday 21 April (sold out)
Sunday 12 May (sold out)
Sunday 2 June
Sunday 14 July
Sunday 1 September (sold out)
Sunday 6 October
Sunday 17 November
The Biker Down group is led by Rob Gilligan, a former sergeant at Staffordshire Police and the Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG).
He said: “The idea behind the Biker Group course is, primarily, to provide drivers and riders with the key information needed at a collision scene.
“The scene safety and casualty care modules are specially designed so that those who have no prior first-aid knowledge will be able to assist a casualty at the scene.
“These lifesaving skills, such as helmet removal, haemorrhage control, CPR and defibrillation awareness, will prove vital for anyone who encounters an injured biker.
“The Thinking Biker element of the course will also look at how motorcyclists can protect themselves against having an accident. Prevention is, ultimately, how we are going to make our roads safer for everyone.”
