❌ Don’t speed, it’s really that simple.

Earlier this month, we carried out speed enforcement checks in Bishop Middleham following complaints from residents who were concerned that people were speeding through the village.

Over three days, officers from Durham Roads & Armed Policing checked more than 350 vehicles which were travelling on High Road – a 30mph road through the village.

Of these:

📍 Nine drivers were issued with Traffic Offence Reports for speeding over 40mph, with 47mph being the highest speed recorded.

📍 One woman was handed a Traffic Offence Report for careless driving after overtaking at speed and contravening a central island.

📍 Another driver was reported for court action for travelling at 42mph and having no tax or insurance.

📍 Words of advice were also given to 15 drivers.

Disappointingly, most of the drivers who were stopped for speeding were locals who actually lived in the village.

Speed limits are there to keep people safe and it’s in everyone’s best interest for drivers to ensure their speed is appropriate for the road they are travelling on.

Being local to the area and knowing the roads doesn’t mean you can speed.

A pedestrian hit at 30mph has a one in five chance of being killed. This rises to a one in three chance if they are hit at 35mph.

Please, just slow down.

Last week, PCSO 30141 attended Sedgefield Hardwick nursery following the children learning about the roles of the emergency services in ensuring public safety. 👮‍♀️👮

Our drone pilot, PCSO Kippling tested his skills with a game of 'hide and seek', demonstrating the drones capabilities in searching for missing people (as well as being an effective way for taking group selfies!) .📷

The children had a blast looking around the van, checking out the uniform and asking lots of questions about all things policing.

Twenty-Two Years 🐥🐥

This week we are celebrating PC 2300 Ward, as he marks his 22nd year in policing.

Back in 2004, whilst some of his colleagues were yet to have taken their first steps, “Wardy” was booting up for the beginning of his career 🥾

Wardy has seen a lot of changes in his career, and has had (almost) more lock-ups than hot dinners! And even with all of his additional skills, his experience is undeniably his best tool.

Luckily for us, we still get to keep him for another 7 years before retirement, but who’s counting 🤫

…Just like fine wine 🍷

UPDATE: The third vehicle has now been located, enquiries are continuing into the thefts, should you have any information please use the below details.

***

Police are appealing for information following the theft of farm utility vehicles last night.

Thanks to the observations and quick thinking of the local community and the Rurali initiative, officers were dispatched to the Fishburn area following a report of three John Deere Gator vehicles driving towards the area.

Within an hour of the initial report officers managed to track down and recover two of the vehicles in the Bishop Middleham area after they were abandoned but believe one is still outstanding. The picture below shows one of the recovered vehicles which is similar to the one outstanding one.

Officers are asking the public to get in touch if they have any information about the incident or any information which can help locate the third.

If you have any information contact PC Harry Newell by calling 101 with extension number 209828 or email [email protected]
Alternatively, you can contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
