Near Miss Accidents and Speeding
There is increasing public concern about car parking at various points throughout the village. The ERYC Highways Department does not perceive this to be a problem as there is no history of any incidents or accidents occurring. It is important therefore that any minor bump or scrape to vehicles, or, a near miss is reported to the Highways Authority. Contact: Email: highway.dm@eastriding.gov.uk
You should report incidents of any perceived speeding or other anti-social driving behaviour to the local police service using the 101 non-emergency number
