Burnham-On-Sea
police launch seafront speeding crackdown
Burnham-On-Sea
police launched a crackdown against speeding motorists on the
town's seafront on Friday evening (June 27th).
Several
drivers were pulled over as officers equipped with speed cameras
monitored traffic along The Esplanade over the course of the evening.
The
operation came amid continuing concern from seafront residents
about the problems of speeding traffic and 'boy racers'.
Burnham-On-Sea.com
reported last
month how Neighbourhood Watch leaders and residents had decided
tackling speed and anti-social use of vehicles along the Esplanade
should be the police's second highest priority after dealing with
problems in the Manor Gardens. The priorities are set at quarterly
public meetings held by police.
Meanwhile,
Burnham-On-Sea.com understands a meeting is due to be held between
town councillors, the County Council, police and Burnham Holiday
Village during the next few weeks to discuss the possibility of
introducing traffic calming measures along the seafront.
