Lorry drivers who are breaking the law have been targeted by Suffolk Police this week on the A14, A11 and A12 dual carriageways. Operation Wyken saw officers patrolling in an unmarked lorry with a video camera checking to see if drivers were committing a range of offences including eating and drinking, steering with their knees, reading whilst driving and using hand held mobile phones. They were also enforcing seatbelt legislation. Around 170 drivers were stopped with a total of 184 offences recorded in the week long campaign. Most of those were HGV drivers and the majority of the cases involved seatbelt offences. There were also a large number of drivers stopped for using mobile phones whilst on the move. Our west Suffolk producer Philippa Taylor went out with them during the operation.

There is renewed hope for the Lowestoft Seafront Air Festival 2013. At the end of July the organisers announced it was cancelled due to lack of donations and poor weather at this year's event.
