🚔 Community Road Safety Update – St John's Road, Uxbridge 🚔

Keeping our roads safe is a shared responsibility, and recently your local policing teams joined colleagues for a large-scale traffic operation on St John's Road, opposite Riverside Way, Uxbridge, aimed at tackling dangerous driving and protecting all road users.

During the operation, officers focused on a range of offences, including:

✅ Using a mobile phone while driving
✅ Driving without insurance
✅ Cloned number plates
✅ Driving without a valid licence
✅ Drug and drink driving
✅ Seatbelt offences
✅ Vehicles in a dangerous or defective condition
✅ Excess speed and anti-social driving

The operation delivered positive results, with outcomes including arrests, vehicle seizures and numerous Traffic Offence Reports (TORs) issued to drivers committing offences.

While enforcement is an important part of policing, the primary aim of these operations is to keep our community safe. Every day, local residents, school children, cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians use these roads. Drivers who choose to ignore the law place themselves and others at unnecessary risk.

We would like to thank residents who continue to report concerns to us. Community intelligence helps us identify problem locations, target our resources effectively and take action against those who make our roads less safe. By working together, we can continue making a positive difference across Uxbridge and the wider Hillingdon area.

Before setting off on any journey, please remember to:

🔹 Ensure your vehicle is insured, taxed and roadworthy
🔹 Check your tyres, lights and brakes regularly
🔹 Keep your mobile phone out of reach while driving
🔹 Always wear a seatbelt and ensure passengers do the same
🔹 Never drive under the influence of drink or drugs
🔹 Drive with care and within the speed limit
