Speeding

This is no No 1 complaint from Parish Councils to the police so this will continue to be a priority. Community speed watch is to be continued to be introduced at all Parish council meetings for those that are experiencing speeding issues. This will allow residents to become police trained volunteers monitoring vehicle speeds in their community, with the aim of changing the behaviour of some road users who drive above the speed limit through small villages.

Water Safety - Tickton/Eske

As the weather starts to get better, it is likely that we will start to see a rise in calls for service around Tickton Bridge and Eske nature reserve. Over the coming weeks and months water safety presentations will be delivered to schools explaining the dangers. Patrols will be increased around hot spot areas, and we will utilise social media to spread awareness.

School Parking issues - update

You spoke - we listened, since reports of parents regularly parking on double yellows, single lines, blocking driveways, we have increased patrols on specific times. Most schools now have a policy in place where there is a member of staff on entrance at entering and leaving times obtaining registrations of vehicles committing the offences of NO STOPPING on specific lines. School with then contact neighbourhood policing who will obtain the registered keepers address and contact will be made by way of correspondence. By following this process, we will see how many vehicles are committing offences when police are not in attendance and how many continue to commit offences after receiving the warning letter.
