25 drivers caught breaking 20mph limit by Doncaster police in speeding clampdown

South Yorkshire Police officers in the Doncaster East Neighbourhood Policing Team district conducted a number of operations as part of Neighbourhood Policing Week.

On Tuesday, proactive vehicle and foot patrols were carried out across the area in Armthorpe, Barnby Dun, Edenthorpe, Hatfield, Kirk Sandall, Stainforth, Thorne and Moorends.

A speeding operation monitored 115 vehicles on Church Road, Barnby Dun, with 25 of them caught driving above the 20mph speed limit.

Advisory letters will be sent to those who broke the speed limit put in place for people's safety, a police spokesman said.

Officers also attended West Road Primary and Marshland Road Primary in Stainforth to deliver a 'mini police session', followed by patrols at the end of the day at both schools.

And police also visited Southfield Primary School in Armthorpe and spoke with children in Key Stage One about those that help others in the community, with a drop-in session at Stainforth Library also held to give vital crime prevention advice.

Three youths were all issued with Acceptable Behaviour Contracts (ABC) due to their persistent antisocial behaviour in their community.

A spokesman said: “We will be posting more about our activities during this week of action on our channels and website so keep your eyes peeled for further updates.”
