Learner drivers to get head start

Learner motorists are to get a helping hand to pass their driving test thanks to a scheme run by Blackpool Council.

For two weeks from 24 July, the council will be running one-day courses giving help both in theory and the practical aspects of learning to drive.

The course is available to anyone over the age of 16 and is being held at Blackpool and Fylde College.

Anyone interested in the course should contact the travel and road safety team on 01253 476182.
