Have you ever considered the impact balloons can have on wildlife & pets?
With balloon arches and big balloon releases becoming popular in recent years, even balloon sellers are calling for a rethink.
Balloons can be swallowed by animals, leading to either starvation or suffocation.
Balloons can be swallowed by animals, leading to either starvation or suffocation.
It’s a widespread problem affecting birds, marine life, farm animals and even pets.
From Yorkshire terriers choking to death in the garden, to sea birds slowly starving
once a balloon is let loose, the results can be deadly.

Thinking of buying an e-scooter - know the law.
Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership (SSRP) has some important advice for anyone thinking about buying an e-scooter.
While it’s legal to buy and own an e-scooter, you can only legally ride a privately owned one on private land, with the landowner’s permission.
This means it is against the law to ride, or to allow your child to ride, an e-scooter anywhere on the roads, pavements, cycle tracks and parks, or to school.
If a child is stopped by the Police, and they suspect a parent or carer has purchased the e-scooter for them and allowed its use on the highway, the parent may be investigated for causing or permitting a traffic offence.
Riding an e-scooter illegally can result in a £300 fine, penalty points, and in some cases prosecution. It is also likely that the e-scooter will be seized.
As well as the legal implications of using e-scooters, they also pose a significant fire safety risk due to the lithium-ion batteries that are used to power them. These can spread a fire rapidly if they ignite and explode.
For more information on e-scooters and the law, and the fire safety risks, visit: E-scooters and the law – Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership
