Roads Policing update from Ceredigion Roads Policing Unit

Monthly community update from Ceredigion Roads Policing Sgt Dafydd George.

Hello Resident

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share a quick round up of the work that your local Roads Policing Unit have been doing in your area, what's coming up and how we are working with partners to keep our roads safe for those living in, working in and visiting Ceredigion.

From what our communities have told us we have been focusing on:

Road Safety & Speeding Concerns (A487 Aberystwyth to Aberaeron)

Road Safety, Speeding Concerns & Anti-Social Driving (A482 Aberaeron to Lampeter - Including Aberaeron & Lampeter Towns)

Road Safety, Speeding Concerns & Anti-Social Driving (St Dogmaels to Crymych)

To effectively tackle these issues we have been working with colleagues from other departments and partner organisations including:

Ceredigion Neighbourhood Policing & Prevention Team (NPPT)

Ceredigion Response Policing Team

Go Safe / Road Safety Partnership

These collaborations are helping us respond more effectively and holistically to community needs.

As a result, we have:

Conducted a significant number of targeted patrols totalling 70 hours in the areas of concern you have highlighted to us.

Dealt with in excess of 50 Road Traffic Offences (Focusing on Fatal 5, speeding and anti-social driving among many other offences).

Removed 7 vehicles from our roads.

Made 10 arrests for Drink & Drug Driving Offences

Dealt with numerous Road traffic collisions/incidents and provided support to casualties and families involved.

In addition to the above, officers from your local Roads Policing Team have:

Made several proactive arrests in connection with drug offences, removing Class A and B drugs from Ceredigion’s streets.

Assisted with road safety during the Ironman Tenby.

Conducted a number of mini operations targeting the areas of concern.

Deployed to a high number of incidents in the county requiring the team’s specialist skillset, including road traffic collisions, crimes in progress and high risk and vulnerable missing persons.

This coming month we will continue to target the issues affecting our communities by supporting the following road safety Campaigns:

Operation insight (pedestrians and eyesight).

Operation Drive Insured.

Operation Spotlight (Fatal 5 Road Traffic Offences).

Operation Apex (Improving Road Safety for Vulnerable Road Users).

Thank you for your continued support and engagement.

Kind regards,
