Road Safety work - October summary


Road safety is a consistent concern from residents, as seen on reports we recieve & from feedback given to us at community meetings.

 

At the end of September, we gave a summary of what we'd done that month to keep the local roads safe. It was largely well recieved, so here's what we've done in October so far:

 

- 38 Fixed penalty notices issued for obstructive parking

- 11 Schools visited to ensure safe parking when dropping off

- 10 Drivers warned about their parking & moved when asked to

- 3 Drivers given warnings on their speed

- 2 Drivers given tickets for contravention of a 'No Right Turn'

- 2 Vehicles seized for driving without insurance

- 2 Abandoned vehicles seized

- 1 Stolen vehicle recovered

- 1 Driver issued a court summons due to high speed (80/40)

- 1 Driver arrested for driving whilst over the prescribed limit

- 1 Driver arrested for failing to provide a sample of breath

- 1 Ticket for using a handheld device whilst driving

- 1 Driver given a ticket for contravention of a no-entry sign

- 1 Driver given a ticket for contavention of mandatory arrow

 

We will continue to provide these summaries & we welcome any information the community can provide, to help us ensure the safety of our road network.
