Vehicle health checks before winter sets in

Drivers are being offered the chance to give their vehicle a health check before the winter sets in.

The Department of Infrastructure is holding an open evening on Friday where experts will be on hand to help ensure your vehicle is fit for the road.

Small checks such as checking tyre pressure, headlights and windscreen wipers could help you to avoid an accident.

The event is free and will take place at the Vehicle Test Centre in Tromode between 4pm and 8pm.
