We’ve had reports of young people playing on frozen ponds. It might look fun, but it’s extremely dangerous. Please do not go onto ice-covered lakes, ponds, or rivers – it’s not safe!
Ice can appear thick near the edge but gets thinner toward the middle.
Falling into icy water can cause hypothermia very quickly, making it hard to get out.
If a dog or animal falls through, do not go after them – if the ice didn’t hold them, it won’t hold you. Call 999 for help.

Top Safety Tips:
• Never venture onto frozen water – it can crack without warning
• Adults: set a good example by staying off the ice
• Don’t throw sticks or balls onto the ice for dogs
• If you see someone in trouble, call 999 immediately
• If you can help safely, use a rope, branch, or clothing – but stay clear of the water

Please share this message to spread the word!

As the nights start getting darker we have some top tips for you staying safe when cycling around York :

- Make sure you have lights on your bike, and they are charged up

- Make sure your front light is white and your rear light is red so other road users know which way you are travelling

- Make sure your bike is fitted with front, side and rear reflectors at all times

- Wear high visibility clothing during the day and reflective clothing or have reflective strips for when it gets darker. These could be on gloves, vests, sashes, bags or even bikes

- Pay attention to your surroundings, take out earphones so you can hear vehicles approaching
