Check Your Caravan’s Roadworthiness

A road safety operation looking at vehicle weight distribution is to be held this weekend. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

On Sunday, June 12th members of the Special Constabulary and officers from the Roads Policing Unit will hold a special operation at the weighbridge in Ewloe, where caravan owners will be able to have their vehicles checked and weighed. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Specials Chief Inspector Andy Moore said: “With the summer holidays just around the corner we’ll be carrying out checks prior to the caravans being used over the summer season. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“I am encouraging caravan owners to bring their vehicles along in order for us to check their condition and ensure they are the correct weight. Officers will also be on hand to give advice regarding safer towing and how to keep your caravan secure and tyres will be checked. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“If you intend on using your caravan this summer please come along for this opportunity.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Officers will be on site throughout the day and anybody who is interested is encouraged to email Specials Chief Inspector Andy Moore to book an appropriate time slot via andrew.moore@nthwales.pnn.police.uk ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
