Road Safety Operation.

Good Morning Resident

Hope you are well,

You may have responded previously to one of our Community Priority Survey’s which have been sent out in the past couple of months. Following the feedback we received, we carried out a road safety operation on Saturday 25th April on the North Bay in Scarborough.  

Residents and visitors in this area have reported speed and anti-social driving related incidents in this area recently.  

We used a hand-held speed device, and our officer stood outside of the Skate Park. Vehicles were detected at driving between 21mph and 45mph within the area which is a 30mph speed limit.  

A vehicle was stopped by officers who found it bring driven by a 16-year-old boy. He was also detected driving at 35mph, with no licence or insurance, the schoolboy has been reported for motoring offences and the vehicle was seized. 

Another driver was detected at 39mph and following his manner of driving in front of an officer, he has been reported for motoring offences.  

Our team engaged with several drivers to speak to them about their driving behaviours.  

We will continue to carry out road safety operations in this area over the coming months. You can report incidents or concerns about anti-social driving by calling 999/101 or via our website www.northyorkshire.police.uk.  

Many Thanks,

Lorna,
