Press Release from 13 May 2010:
Police in Botley are cracking down on motorists committing traffic offences following concerns raised by the parents and teachers of children at Botley Primary School.
There have been a number of incidents recently where motorists have been caught by the police speeding or driving through red lights outside of the school which is situated in the High Street.
A woman was found guilty in her absence at Lyndhurst Magistrates Court on Monday May 10 after she was caught driving through a red light by police at the location.
She received an £175 fine, was ordered to pay £265 court costs and received three points on her driving licence.
A further nine motorists are also being summonsed to attend court for driving offences in Botley High Street.
PC Kathy Cronnelly, a local Safer Neighbourhood Team officer, said: “Motorists are continually putting the lives of children at risk while they walk to and from school.
“Motorists are warned that we will continue to deal with offenders robustly and will be conducting future speed enforcement operations in this area.”
