IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Members of the Community Centre Committee were slightly surprised to discover at their last meeting that the Community Centre is designated as an Emergency Rest Centre in the event of a major emergency in the local area (i.e. if people have to be evacuated because of a serious fire, natural disaster or other major incident).

The Joint Cheshire Emergency Planning Team, a joint service of Cheshire West and Chester and Cheshire East Councils, has invited a Community Centre Committee representative to attend one of its regular Rest Centre Workshops, in Winsford next month, to learn more about the process , from "call-out" to closure. Obviously we all hope this knowledge will never need to be put into practice, but it is good to know such plans are in place "just in case"
