Furness police tackle speeding, damage and school parking issues

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 09:33 · Archive

Furness police conducted targeted patrols across the peninsula, addressing dangerous driving, criminal damage and school parking concerns.

The Furness Neighbourhood Policing Team conducted targeted enforcement activity across the peninsula over several days this month. Officers addressed issues reported by the community, including dangerous driving, criminal damage, farm damage and parking problems around schools.

On the Coast Road, officers dealt with 'several' road traffic offences during the action. One motorist was reported for dangerous driving after exceeding the speed limit and crossing solid white lines whilst a marked police car was behind him. The team also worked with the local council to enforce local bylaws around Bardsea and Aldingham.

In Marton, youths caused criminal damage to a local farmer's land. Following swift enquiries, those involved were identified the same day. They visited the farmer to offer a full apology and rectified the damage caused.

Agriculture was identified as a key part of the police work. Officers conducted rural patrols across the peninsula, engaging directly with farmers to discuss their concerns and gather local intelligence. The activity was coupled with school parking enforcement after issues were raised with the police.
