Police Force launches Summer Drink and Drug Drive Campaign

Leicestershire Constabulary’s Road Policing Unit wants YOUR help to identify and catch drink and drug drivers this summer. As part of the Force’s annual Summer Drink and Drug Driving Campaign, members of the public are being urgedto call the police to pass on information about anyone driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Calls can be made to Leicestershire Constabulary’s non-emergency number 0116 222 2222, or in an emergency, when lives are at risk, to 999.

However, this summer the Road Policing Unit is also launching its own dedicated answering machine on which members of the public can leave information, anonymously if they wish, about persistent drink or drug drivers. The number is 0116 248 2017. This will not result in an immediate police response, but it will help officers to build up intelligence on persistent offenders so that targeted operations can be planned to catch them.

Cllr Michael Wyatt has again contacted the Leicestershire County Council to express his disgust at the grass cutting service supplied by the current contractor, which is supposed to cut all grass verges within the local area.

 Cllr Wyatt was told today that the grass ‘will be cut within 10 days.’

Cllr Michael Wyatt said, “Thank you to everyone who took the time to express your feelings about the disgusting service we are getting from the Tory Bosses at County Hall. I only hope that the grass is cut within 10 working days, otherwise I, and I hope you will, all join me 0n the 17th June to once again make them realise that we are not prepared to put up with a sloppy second rate service.”

If you have not already express your disgust like many other local residents and would like too, then ring today on  0116 3050001 and make them realise that a second rate service is not acceptable. 

Your phone call can make a real difference.
