Local Priorities

To increase road safety and to reduce speeding within Swannington.

Issued: 1 Apr 2026

Status Update

You said - There was an issue with speeding in Swannington and additional issues around parking in the village.

Together these issues caused you concern that there was risk of road accidents in the Village.

* We will deal with Road safety concerns in the village as a whole focusing on obstructive parking and speeding.

Today we completed our first of several planned FATAL FOUR TRAFFIC OPS in the Village.
• 9 drivers reported for speeding offences
• 2 drivers reported for not wearing a seatbelt
• 1 driver reported for driving otherwise than in accordance with their licence
• 1 driver issued with a Section 59 for anti-social driving
• 23 drivers issued with advice notices

The highest recorded speed was 53mph in a 30mph limit.

A good start and we will keep you updated on further Ops.

Actioned: 28 May 2026

To target illegal off-road motorbikes, specifically within Castle Donington.

Issued: 1 Apr 2026

Status Update

You Said:
There has been an increase in the use of illegal off-road motorbikes being ridden dangerously (specifically in the Castle Donington area).

We have:
Increased high visibility patrols in the areas affected by this and pro-actively sought to catch offenders and enforce where legally possible. We will also look to develop intelligence around the owners / riders whilst working with partner agencies and the Public.

Some great work has been completed with land owners which looks like it is going to result in some extensive security fencing / bollards etc on some prominent land in the area which for years has attracted anti social off road motor bikers. We will keep you posted on this.
