Leeds headlines 2 November: Leeds anti-social vehicle misuse targeted

Transcript

00:00 Two stories in brief, and four people have been arrested in Leeds as part of a proactive

00:05 operation targeting antisocial motor vehicle use. The operation involved officers from

00:10 West Yorkshire Police's Roads Policing Unit, Air Support and District Offices, and it was

00:15 designed to stop ride-out incidents which have affected districts at Halloween in previous

00:20 years.

00:21 Next, buses have been a big focus at meetings at Leeds Civic Hall this week. Bus operators

00:26 and unions have hit out at those responsible for roadworks across Leeds, which they say

00:30 is the cause for delays in services. The council has said their remarks were disheartening,

00:35 adding that buses had been given priority in areas across the city centre. Elsewhere,

00:40 extra PCSOs have been drafted in to help tackle rising antisocial behaviour on the network,

00:47 with operator Arriva reducing capacity on a major route because of crime and missiles

00:52 being thrown at buses.
