Shut That Door!!! adverts have been posted on both sides of the river advising residents that such action can slow the spread of a blaze and make the difference between life and death. Sean Henshaw, unitary performance manager for Halton, said: “We have been working hard to warn residents about the dangers leaving cooking unattended even for a second. In Halton we have found that the number of incidents has reduced. But last year we were called to 21 cooking-related incidents in Halton alone which clearly show that there is much more that needs to be done.” Runcorn & Widnes Local News http://www.runcornandwidnesweeklynews.co.uk/runcorn-widnes-news/runcorn-widnes-local-news/2009/07/03/miss-cheshire-catriona-cameron-shines-at-the-vision-support-annual-fun-day-55368-24068029/ Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:15:53 GMT http://www.runcornandwidnesweeklynews.co.uk/runcorn-widnes-news/runcorn-widnes-local-news/2009/07/03/miss-cheshire-catriona-cameron-shines-at-the-vision-support-annual-fun-day-55368-24068029/ RUNCORN’S Miss Cheshire added a touch of glamour to a major event highlighting the work of Vision Support Runcorn & Widnes Local News http://www.runcornandwidnesweeklynews.co.uk/runcorn-widnes-news/runcorn-widnes-local-news/2009/07/03/on-line-help-for-the-deaf-and-hard-of-hearing-in-halton-55368-24068075/ Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:13:53 GMT http://www.runcornandwidnesweeklynews.co.uk/runcorn-widnes-news/runcorn-widnes-local-news/2009/07/03/on-line-help-for-the-deaf-and-hard-of-hearing-in-halton-55368-24068075/ A WEBSITE has been launched for deaf and hard of hearing Halton residents.
