We have an issue with Vans and Cars speeding down the road outside our property
The road is little more thatn a track and has numerous potholes that fill when it is raining.
The council have refused to help saying it is a private road (however, lately they seemed to change as English Nature wanted, and hav,e made it into an alternate route for the coastal path.)
We also have a lifeboat at the top of the road and the sea defences are maintained by the Department for Environment.
Lately they have been repairing the concrete defences further up the road, there are Porta cabins and big repair plant parked on what is now there site.
Last week, a police car, with no light and no siren came down the road from the top end at over 30mph, when Mr DT ent to look and ask them why they were "speeding" they said it was in response to a call regarding an alarm sounding on the site, there was no alarm sounding and we found out later that the suspicious car was seen over half an hour earlier and the siren reported then.
This morning there is another car parked on top of what is the sea defence ramp completely blocking it, two "youths" had clearly been sleeping in it but I was on my own and loth to say anything also reluctant, now, to report this.
Can a police car attend an incident, a) at speed, that is over the limit of 10mph, with no siren or lights.
b) with a single OCO who, according to Mr DT was not wearing their hat
