West Mercia Police launch "Only One for the Road" to fight festive season drink and drug driving.

West Mercia Police have launched "The Only One for the Road," a campaign to curb drink and drug driving during the festive season. Supported by families affected by such incidents and hospitality businesses, the initiative highlights the risks and promotes alcohol-free options. Over the past three years, 25 fatalities and 167 serious injuries in the region were linked to alcohol, with 11 fatalities and 68 serious injuries involving drugs. Last December, 266 people were arrested for driving under the influence. Wenlock Spring is aiding the campaign by distributing materials that urge responsible drinking.
