Police operation reintroduced to Calderdale’s roads

Police in Calderdale are reintroducing an operation to bring safety to the district’s roads.

Operation Hawmill commenced in September 2016 to focus on tackling four major offences on the road – intoxication, speeding, using a mobile phone and not wearing a seatbelt.

Numerous drivers were penalised for these offences, as well as a number of potentially dangerous vehicles being seized for having no insurance or being used anti-socially.

Calderdale Council has provided extra funding, allowing the operation to be deployed for a further 12 months.
