Drink driving arrests down in North Yorkshire

Recently released figures from North Yorkshire Police have shown a fall in the number of people arrested for drink-driving offences in the region compared to the same period the year before.

A total of 81 people were taken into custody in December compared to 108 in December 2009. Eleven of those arrested have been charged with offence while a further 10 have already been disqualified.

The force ran a “shop a drink driver” campaign before Christmas, encouraging members of the public to inform the police about any drivers they suspected were over the limit. Traffic Sergeant Ian Pope, of the North Yorkshire force’s Road Policing Group, said: “Although it is pleasing that the message does seem to having an effect, it is astounding that people are still driving while impaired through drink or drugs. It is dangerous, it is illegal and it ruins lives. People need to realise this and think before they get behind the wheel.”

We recently worked with Leasa Foster at Winston Solicitors as our solicitor for purchasing our new home, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Leasa was incredibly professional, thorough, and proactive throughout the entire process. She kept us informed at every stage, explained everything clearly, and always responded quickly to our questions — no matter how small.Buying a house can be stressful, but Leasa made the whole journey smooth and straightforward. Her attention to detail and calm, reassuring approach gave us complete confidence that we were in safe hands.We are truly grateful for her support and highly recommend Leasa Foster and Winston Solicitors to anyone looking for an efficient and reliable conveyancing solicitor.

Very handy as a local north Leeds firm, no need to travel to Leeds. Understood exactly what we required and prepared the documents carefully and quickly. Kept us informed as to progress throughout. I would recommend them for any private client work.
