Following recent complaints from local residents, a Horsforth NPT Officer has been stopping vehicles that have contravened the No Entry sign on Park Drive in Horsforth.

12 drivers will receive points and a fine, or (if applicable) a driver retraining course.

1 driver was found to be disqualified from driving and driving without insurance. His vehicle was seized and he will need to take a trip to court.

Common excuses we've heard so far have included:

"Sorry I didn't see it"

"I've always gone this way"

"My sat nav said I could"

"I am late"

There is no excuse for driving through no-entry signage.
