Police in Garioch have set up a new campaign to tackle dangerous driving. Operation Collinsville aims to target anti-social and irresponsible driving in the Garioch area.

The new signs show snappy messages reminding drivers of possible risks and dangers ahead.

Over ten high-visibility signs have been created with help from the Garoch and North Marr Community Safety Group and Aberdeenshire Council.

Sergeant Andy Sawers of Garioch Community Policing Team said that he thinks the new campaign will work well with previous operations used in the area.

He said: “Operation Berrigan identified several offences of careless driving, seatbelt offences and excessive use of acceleration. Operation Collinsville will compliment this and the two will run simultaneously.”

Councillor Iris Walker added “I’m looking forward to seeing the signs in place. I think they will have an impact and that drivers will reflect on the messages being highlighted.”
