Improving Road Safety around our villages

Issued 31 August 2026

As with most other areas, road safety is something in which we can improve upon in our rural communities.

ACTION: We hold regular proactive road safety campaigns which include speed enforcement in hot spot locations.

As we enter the autumn months, the Community Team will be conducting patrols around our villages making sure that the roads are safe for everyone especially for our young members enjoying this season in the outdoors.

As children return to school in September and approach the half term holiday, the Neighbourhood Police Teams top tips for ensuring children and parents are ready for the journey ahead and can stay as safe as possible.

Families are being advised to take to two wheels or travel on foot if they can and plan out journeys to allow extra time as an increase in traffic is expected.
Community Officers have invited families to “rethink how they travel” encouraging all to walk and cycle where possible, especially for families that live within a mile of their school.

Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB)

Issued 28 July 2026

We regularly deploy high visibility patrols to our communities in response to reports of criminal damage, drug dealing and anti-social behaviour involving scrambler bikes and mopeds. As we approach the autumn season OPERATION TOPAZ this is the Force Response to the policing of the Halloween & Bonfire period and associated events.

The local policing team have also had productive meetings with partners from East Riding Council, Parish Councils and Neighbourhood Watch groups to listen to community concerns.


Our officers are also committed to eradicating the harm that the illegal and anti-social use of off-road bikes cause to the communities through our Operation Yellowfin.

Action – members of the Holderness Policing Team will conduct regular high-visibility patrols and partnership working is ongoing to make sure that Holderness is a space for everyone to enjoy as we head into the spring.

Rest assured, where we receive reports of anti-social and criminal behaviour, we will not hesitate to take action. If you witness any such behaviour in your community, please let us know so we can respond, target patrols to the relevant areas and stop criminals in their tracks.

Anyone who wishes to report anti-social or criminal behaviour can contact The Police on 101 or East Riding of Yorkshire Council on 01482 393939
