Worksop South

Road safety issues are a real concern from our community, and this is reflected within our crime survey, particularly around the A57 area. The consequences of dangerous driving can be extremely serious and I determined to make the roads on Bassetlaw a safer place.

We continue to target those that drive dangerously on our roads. Throughout the last month, we have had the support of our Roads Policing Unit, who have targeted those putting others at risk. Working in partnership with Bassetlaw District Council, we have a new high-definition CCTV camera installed on the A57, which will allow us to access live footage and obtain evidence in prosecuting dangerous drivers.

Drug Supply and Drug Use features high on our crime survey feedback and is a regular concern from our communities. Drug Supply and Drug Use impacts a variety of other crime types, such as theft and public order offences as well as anti-social behaviour.

Operation Legacy has been launched in Worksop, an offender management-based strategy, working alongside partners to tackle those committing crime. Alongside Legacy, we have executed a Misuse of Drugs Act warrant at an address in Worksop and are working towards further enforcement activity. Working with Bassetlaw District Council, we have also assisted with an eviction at a local address linked to drug use.
