I live on Old Crewe Road and have lived there for a number of years. Lately, I have noticed more and more cars become extremely aggressive in their driving, some going over 50mph and passing other cars on the road going nearly as fast. With this road being a residential road, also having a school and church, there are many pedestrians along this road who are now in danger. Who do I need to contact to see if anyone can help solve this problem?


Auntie’s answer: I reached out to the RCIPS with your concerns and there are a few options for how to register a complaint about the dangerous drivers in your area. The best unit to handle this problem is the Neighbourhood Policing Department, which an RCIPS representative described as a “good destination for general complaints/suggestions/concerns about situational issues in neighbourhoods”.

You can call the George Town Police Station (949-4222) and ask for the NPD or email them here. The police have also launched a mobile download accessible through the RCIPS website. It is not an app for a smart phone, but it can be added as a weblink to the home screen, by first tapping the Community Bridge button on the RCIPS website. The weblink will enable the user to send an email to the NPD.

For any other general concerns or if you have information that you feel the police should know about, you can use this email address, and your message will be directed to the appropriate department.

I hope this information is helpful and the speeding drivers in your area are brought under control before something awful happens.
