I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Road Safety, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.
Baking 30 degree+ weather, 83 vehicle stops, an array of traffic offences dealt with… this is Operation Excess – designed to keep our roads safe. Last week, on the 8th and 9th July, our officers were out and about on a two-day operation to crack down on traffic offences – with the heat wave proving no barrier to action being taken to make sure vehicles on are legal and roadworthy.
Here are the results in numbers:
83 vehicles stopped
1 arrest for fake license
19 Traffic Offence Reports (TORs) for offences such as no MOT, driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence, insecure load, defective tyres, passenger seatbelt and light offences
