Policing the roads of Wealden 🚔

On Wednesday last week, officers carried out more than 50 vehicle and driver checks across the Wealden district.

Checks included moving vehicle stops, document inspections, and intelligence led vehicle checks at locations including Ashdown Forest, Polegate, Uckfield and Crowborough.

We're pleased to report that all drivers stopped were complying with road traffic laws and had the correct documentation in place.

One stop did however provide a timely reminder about alcohol and driving. A driver who completed a roadside breath test at 10am recorded a result of 20µg/100ml. While this was below the legal limit of 35µg/100ml, the driver was surprised to learn that the bottle of wine consumed the night before was still affecting the reading.

If you're planning a night out, remember that alcohol can remain in your system well into the following day. If you're unsure whether you're fit to drive, don't take the risk.

If you have concerns about driving standards, anti-social driving, or road safety issues in your area, please report them to us.

You can call 101, report online via our website, or dial 999 in an emergency if a crime is in progress or there is an immediate risk to life.

Are we calling you?

We are reminding the public to be sure of who they are talking to, following a spike in reports of calls from ‘spoofed’ phone numbers.

Scammers use 'spoofing' to make calls and texts appear to come from legitimate organisations. They do this to gain your trust and persuade you to share personal information or transfer money.

We will never call out of the blue, asking for personal or bank details.

If a caller claims to be from the police, you can always hang up and ring us back to verify the call, by phoning 101 or 999 in an emergency.
