“Unfortunately some people are still not driving within the speed limits and as a result five tickets were issued for excess speed (£60 and three penalty points) as well as one Endorsable Fixed Penalty Ticket (£200 and six penalty points) issued for No Insurance,” the spokesperson also confirmed following the operation.
