Current Priorities
Issue
Issues with speeding on Seaton Lane
Action
Community Speedwatch has been utilised in the area by local PCSO’s – during which several vehicles were found to be in excess of the speed limit.
This information obtained by NPT has been fed into the enforcement team who have recently been in the area and provided the following results -
B1404 Seaton Lane, Seaham
During the 5 visits to the site I would advise that 21 drivers triggered the safety cameras:
0 drivers fell within our Process Level (Court action)
3 drivers fell within our Conditional offer level (fine and points)
18 drivers fell within our Speed Awareness Course level
Issue
Issues with off road bike related nuisance
Action
Regular high visibility patrols are conducted in the area. This area is protected by Section 59 of the Police Reform Act which allows officers to seize any vehicle being used in a manner causing alarm, distress or annoyance. Police off-road bikes from our Motorcycle Section have recently conducted an operation in this area with more planned in the near future.
Please let us know of any locations or persons who own and are seen riding off road bikes in the area.
We have seized over 20 off road vehicles this summer so far and continue to work with the community to reduce the number of issues they cause.
