Anti-social drivers and motorcyclists are being targeted by police at a Cornish beauty spot.

Officers are undertaking traffic checks in different locations on Pendennis Point at Falmouth.

They are monitoring the coastal area and surrounding roads, using their kit to monitor speed, to check for any outstanding police notices and to fine drivers in relation to their driving or any other offences.

Inspector Tim Evans said: “Falmouth residents and local councillors were concerned about cars and motorbikes driving at excess speed and in an anti-social manner around Pendennis Point. 

“The location is a beauty spot and an iconic place within Falmouth and is bordered by residential properties.

“People who have been driving at excess speed have been very much affecting the quality of life for some residents.

“We are seeing a decrease in poor driving behaviour. However, it is still present in the area.”
