Huthwaite child protection scheme to be rolled out
A number of ‘safe stop’ stations are to be set up throughout the village, in a bid to help children in an emergency.Shops and businesses that sign up to the scheme will display notices in their windows and doors, so that children know this is a safe place for them to go if they are scared or have been approached by strangers.
Coun Andrew Harding , Huthwaite and Brierley councillor said,“Any scheme that makes children safer is to be welcomed.

"We will continue to make the case for more police across Huthwaite and Sutton – as there’s no substitute for a visible police presence.”
