Drivers could face action after police clock speeding cars in operation on Doncaster street today

Police Community Support Officers carried out a mobile speed gun operation today on Wentworth Road, Wheatley, near Doncaster Royal Infirary, after officers received complaints from local residents about speeding vehicles in the area.

PCSO David Twigg said: “At this time, 12 vehicles were witnessed travelling over the legal speed limit at this location. As a result of this operation, the vehicles identified as travelling over the legal limit will be referred over to the Camera Safety Partnership.
