Anti-drink drive campaign hailed a success

North Yorkshire Police have said that an anti-drink drive campaign launched for the World Cup was a success.

Figures released by the police show that of 113 drivers tested during June in the city of York while the DES designated driver campaign was running, only one tested positive for alcohol, while in North Yorkshire as a whole, only two percent of those tested were positive.

The figures for both York and North Yorkshire rose slightly after the campaign ended but Inspector Dave Brown said the figures were encouraging. He said: “This is a really good result. The Association of Chief Police Officers' figures suggest a national fail rate of 5.9 per cent, so for us in York to have less than one per cent prove positive for drink driving, in June shows that the campaign has had some impact.”

The success of the campaign may lead to further ones in the battle to cut drink related road accident casualties.

Client feedback

I just dealt with Leasa in the recent purchase of my first home. Can not recommend her. Fast, efficient and has an eye on everything. Managed to get me from offer accepted to moving in less than 11 weeks.

The whole process of sorting out my wife's estate and a lasting power of atorney was made a relatively easy to understand process because the team we dealt with spoke to us in an easy to understand language. They also acted quickly at every stage as well as always keeping us updated if there were any delays.
David
We’ve recently completed both a sale and a purchase with the help of our conveyancer, Leasa, and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, her communication was outstanding and she kept us informed at every stage and made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. Leasa’s professionalism, attention to detail, and transparent approach gave us complete confidence throughout. We would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a conveyancer.

I was recommended by a work colleague to use Samantha at Winston’s for buying my first house. They were brilliant at communicating and replied to me so quickly! No question was too silly. Such a smooth process and I would definitely recommend. Really appreciate the help - thank you!!
