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.

I dealt with Emily regarding my will; she was professional and a pleasure to work with.

My husband and I finally got around to having wills written via the charity scheme (St Gemma's). Emily was great at talking us through the options, answering our queries and setting this up professionally, personably and in a timely manner. I would recommend Winstones to others and would use them again for any legal work we may require in the future.

My situation is fairly straightforward with a couple of areas on which I needed a bit of advice. The solicitor was very helpful at explaining the possible options. The process was thorough and executed in a timely way.

Our experience using Winstons Solicitors for our home purchase was excellent. Communication was clear and timely throughout, and we never once had to chase for a response. Michelle and the entire team were fantastic, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly.

After losing a family member last year, it made me realise that I had to sort out a Will, as you never know what’s going to happen and when. Emily explained things in clear English and making my Will was so much simpler than I thought it would be.Thank you so much Emily, highly recommended!
