Editors Letter‌..

Merry Christmas!!

I would like to wish a Merry Christmas to everyone that has helped make the Arrow magazine a success, readers, contributors, distributors and local businesses that advertise their products or services. This is the third issue and hopefully one of many more to be published.

On a more sombre note, November has seen one of the most tragic loss of lives in Doncaster for some time. The whole Doncaster community came together to offer support and condolences to the families and friends who have lost their young love ones. All five teenagers who lost their lives were past or present students of Danum Academy in Armthorpe. The Head Teacher, Rebecca Staples and her team of staff have done an amazing job, opening the school as soon as they were aware of the news to anyone who needed support and providing a source of comfort. Doncaster has been in the headlines for al the wrong reasons lately, its great to see what our community is capable of when needed.

Don Valley MP Caroline Flint has joined Shadow Business Secretary Chuka Umunna MP to promote the contribution of local businesses as part of this year’s Small Business Saturday on 6 December.

Small Business Saturday is a grass-roots campaign that encourages people to shop locally and support small businesses in the local community. Last year it was the biggest celebration of small businesses in the UK and gave a boost to local shops through extra trade of nearly £500m.

Caroline is encouraging businesses in her constituency to take part this year and take advantage of the campaign to focus on small business on a key shopping day in the year in the run-up to Christmas. It also aims to give a long-term boost to trade and give a lift to the high streets.

Said Caroline: “I encouraged people to shop local. Our small shops and independent businesses are vital to the towns and villages in outlying parts of the borough. They are a vital part of our local economy and we need to get behind them. In many towns and villages, small businesses add character and are a source of local jobs.

Last year I backed Small Business Saturday. It was big success and it was brilliant to meet businesses doing a fantastic job. The campaign helped raise awareness of what they do and the choice they bring to our community. We all need to put our hands in our pockets to make sure we back our local businesses. This year I’ll be getting fully behind the campaign again and giving my support to our local businesses.”

Welcoming Caroline’s support for the campaign, Shadow Business Secretary Chuka Umunna MP said: “Last year when I first called for the UK to have its own Small Business Saturday, I could not have envisaged what we managed to achieve. We helped create the biggest celebration of small business and entrepreneurs that the country has seen and it helped give a boost to their bottom line. We brought together a grass roots coalition including business organisations and local authorities to make it happen.

“On one of the busiest shopping days of the year Small Business Saturday puts a spotlight on the huge contribution of small businesses and encourages people to buy from small shops and independent firms.

This year we want it to be bigger and better. Please do put it in your diary.”

The Don valley MP is sending details of Small Business Saturday to local businesses.

In 2013, the MP joined shopkeepers in Tickhill to promote the campaign. This year she is visiting businesses in Thorne.

Doncaster Advanced Motorists Change Your Driving Habits With The Change of Season Dear Readers, As autumn brings a change in the colour of leaves, motorists also need to be aware of the hazards brought about by changing road conditions..

Fallen leaves tend to accumulate near roadside gutters and, when combined with heavier seasonal rainfall, can block roadside drains causing localised deep water and wet leaves on the road surface increase the danger of skidding for drivers and motorcyclists.

Darker mornings and early evenings also mean that it is harder to spot surface water. If the road surface is black, pockets of water are less easy to see and can cause a sharp, unexpected jolt on the steering wheel when hit.

The sun is also lower in the sky at sunrise and sunset at this time of year and motorists should be aware this can have a dangerous blinding effect, particularly around the time motorists are commuting to and from work.

The colder temperatures of autumn can also to give rise to fog. Fog is a particular problem on fast-moving roads, such as motorways but severely reduced visibility brings danger for drivers on all roads – particularly junctions and roundabouts.

Use fog lights sparingly; switch them on only when visibility is below 100 metres. Leaving them on after fog has disappeared is an offence and a danger to other motorists.

Fog can also cause moisture on the windscreen; use wipers to clear the exterior and keep the interior clean to help maintain FUNERAL DIRECTORS visibility.

Motorists should set lighting and windscreen controls in their vehicle before setting off to A Family Business Giving avoid distraction while travelling.

A Personal & Caring Service Sharp braking can also be even more dangerous when visibility is poor. Motorists PRE-PAID FUNERAL PLANS should be prepared to slow down to enable them to stop within the distance they can see FISHLAKE - STAINFORTH to be clear and give following drivers more covering all areas time react.
