The problem of speeding vehicles and inconsiderate driving appears to be mainly during the evening and at weekends. Complaints have been received that vehicles are using the residential streets as a racetrack. This is compounded by the illegal use of unregistered off-road motorcycles.
Our Response
The Neighbourhood Policing Team has submitted an article to the local newsletter, in which they have informed the local community of the problem and requested information regarding offending vehicles.
To assist in this, confidential information slips have been left at the local Village Hall, Post Office and Library, for local residents to complete and send in to the Police.
The Neighbourhood Policing Team will monitor the alleged speeding vehicles, by conducting a speed survey on the road, and if necessary, conduct a full speed gun operation.
Beat officers will use the handheld speed camera to identify offending vehicles. We will advise, caution or prosecute motorists depending on each individual circumstance.
Persistent offenders will be repeatedly targeted. We will regularly liaise with the Force Speed Enforcement Team to see if we meet the criteria for their attendance and action.
Additionally, we will encourage and support local community speed watch schemes to help us to identify the persistent offenders and target them more effectively.
The divisional off-road motorcycle team will also pay attention to the area to tackle the problem of illegal motorcycles. Use will also be made of police powers to seize illegal vehicles.
