We've seen an increase in cases of STEC, a foodborne illness that can cause diarrhoea, bloody stools & stomach cramps.
If you have STEC symptoms, wash your hands with soap & warm water. Don’t prepare food for others until 48 hours after symptoms stop.

Outdoor air pollution is a major public health issue. Poor air quality can contribute to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer and respiratory diseases. Active travel is one way of contributing to reducing air pollution caused by vehicles and it also improves physical activity.
90% of us in Britain live in areas where we’re breathing toxic air. ⚠️
It's not just harming our health but cutting tens of thousands of lives short every year.
Is that fair? Help us call on MPs to #MakeHealthEqual — starting with the air we breathe. 👉https://bit.ly/4kWQ72L
