Sixth form students were joined by Councilors John Everall and Yvonne Holyoak to watch a performance about driver safety today.

The Walking Forward Theatre Company included a Jerry Springer style interview with the play’s characters, involving the students (and PC Lippitt) in the ensuing debate.The touring performance is aiming to reach an audience of 1500 students throughout Shropshire by the end of this week.

‘Terry’ Springer puts student James Newman on the spot, as Elise Biddulph shoots him one of those ‘Now, who’s been put on the spot by a national TV presenter, regarding your reckless driving style’ looks.

PC Lippitt was on hand during the performance to add a sense of reality to the serious message the play was delivering.
