Nuisance vehicles at Herten triangle and the attraction of associated ASB with these vehicles and other individuals attending the area.

Issued: 6 Jan 2026

Status Update

We are having a number of conerns raised around careless and incosniderate drivers, causing ASB within the Herten triangle area of Doncaster. We are working in conjunction with our colleagues within Doncaster Council to address layout and access to these areas, along with dedicated actions around set times of the day when we believe these issues are occuring. Regular patrols are being carried out within the area and irresponsible drivers dealt with accordingly. Our patrols are reflective of the information provided by the community and are focused on education and subsequent action towards those intent on causing issues within our localities. Should you have any further information please report to SYP or Doncaster Council.
