@JimmydVGarage is that a very young you on scrape challenge building a basketball mortar?

[Andy starkey @halfashandyandy]

@NorthantsPolice And another one. @jamesatkins

[Andy starkey @halfashandyandy]

@northants_SRT Nice to see one of your vans this morning halfway between Watford gap and long buckby junctions. Been a long time coming but welcome none the less.

[Andy starkey @halfashandyandy]

@northants_SRT Only been about 4 years I've been telling you this, go 800 metres south and I'm sure you'll get many more, but you refuse or won't do so.

[Andy starkey @halfashandyandy]

@northants_SRT Weedon village today, loads of speeding drivers, but when was last major rtc or pedestrian injury. Long buckby wharf, same question. A5 between Norton and Watford junctions. Oh wait several major rtc's every year, yet you can't be bothered to put a camera in that section.

[Andy starkey @halfashandyandy]

@northants_SRT I'm a little confused. For many years you have said 'visible enforcement' despite not enforcing in accident areas, but now you are going stealth mode. Care to explain the change in strategy?

[Andy starkey @halfashandyandy]

@northants_SRT Yeah, but not always where there are regular major rtc's.

[Andy starkey @halfashandyandy]

And before you ask, yes I did ask for accident info under several FOI requests, none of which could be fulfilled as apparently you did not have records of serious RTC's for the locations and periods requested.

[Andy starkey @halfashandyandy]

@ChronandEcho Probably this idiot https://t.co/myUSslIYEh

[Andy starkey @halfashandyandy]

@ChronandEcho so just left castle station and e-scooter heading up the hill went through a red light and turned right at a no right turn sign. Do these people have no road sense or thoughts of their own life?

[Andy starkey @halfashandyandy]

And other major rtc on this stretch, never mind, those camera vans are doing a great job preventing accidents in long buckby wharf aren't they.

[Andy starkey @halfashandyandy]

Oh here we ago again. Major rtc on a5 between long buckby and Watford gap. How many times do I have to raise this issue before you do sensible enforcement other than the 30mph in buckby wharf with no pedestrians? @jamesatkins @northants_SRT @NorthantsChief

[Andy starkey @halfashandyandy]

I could say 20 serious RTC's every year as your teams refused or could not respond to my FOI request for evidence of recorded issues. So if I say 20 rtc's per year you can't argue as you have already said 'we don't have that information recorded' in response to foi request.

[Andy starkey @halfashandyandy]

@Wallacebot999 @northants_SRT @NorthantsChief No, never had a speeding ticket or any point on my licence in over 30 year, and the people responding to for request are civilian support not online police. I'm asking for enforcement in this area

[Andy starkey @halfashandyandy]

So @NorthantsChief @northants_SRT submitted 3 FOI requests, been well over the official response time and just had a reply to first. I asked how many rtc"s responded to for a given stretch of a5. Apparently your teams can't establish this. 003977/20.

@ChronandEcho Get the petrol companies to stop fleecing us. When do fuel prices ever go down despite the drop in crude oil price. Not saying theft is correct or right.

[Andy starkey @halfashandyandy]

@matthewdmarsden Le sange et dans larbre

[Andy starkey @halfashandyandy]

@northants_SRT @NorthantsChief @studfall No it won't, it will just get ignored and enforcement will continue in areas that are cash cows. Asked dozens of times for a camera near us, and despite numerous serious rtc's and evidence of serious speeding, nothing, nada.

@TheRAC_UK thank you for my renewal quote. Member for 26 years. This year's renewal 30 percent increase on premium, call to your team and premium dropped 10 percent on last year, are you just fleecing your loyal members?
