Road safety and speeding vehicles remains a priority for members of our community. This is raised to us in PACT meetings.

Road safety remains a priority for our team. I hope you have seen the team out and about recently using the handheld laser speed device. We have recently been on
Vernon Road - Worsbrough
Kingwell - Worsbrough
Tank Row - Stairfoot
Grange Lane - Stairfoot
Green Lane - Dodworth
A629 through Wortley Village

The majority of drivers are driving to the posted speed limit and driving to the conditions of the road. However, we have recently completed 6 traffic offence reports for those not doing so.

UPDATE - 28th November 2024. Barnsley West NPT continues to work closely to make our roads safety for the residents of Barnsley. We have seized a number of vehicles recently for various issues, including no insurance and no tax. We have made a number of arrests for those drink driving and under the influence of drugs whilst driving. Our work is advertised on our website and our social media channels. Please check back for further updates.

Off road vehicles causing harassment alarm and distress in the local area of Kingstone and Worsbrough causing a nuisance to residents.

With support from our BMBC colleagues we conducted an operation on Friday 11th and Saturday 12th October 2024. Using the police helicopter to help us track vehicles we were able to seize 1 illegal off road bike. Throughout the course of the evening we were then able to take an untaxed vehicle off the road and another off road vehicle from the Worsbrough area.

Update - 28th November 2024
We continue to work with BMBC and local residents to tackle anyone riding illegal vehicles and riding/driving vehicles in an antisocial manner. We have taken a number of vehicles off the road in the past few months and will continue to do so as necessary. Please keep an eye on our website and our social media pages for updates on our ongoing efforts.

As the Christmas period approaches we will be working with motorists to increase the safety on our roads and to educate and where necessary prosecute offenders on drinking whilst driving.

Ongoing work. Please keep an eye on our website and social media pages for updates on our actions.
