COUNCILLORS are welcoming extra speed check signs in Arthington village. Following the introduction of Police Speed Check signs in Pool in Wharfedale the local Neighbourhood Policing Team Sergeant has agreed to carry out increased checks on speeds on Arthington Lane through Arthington village. Highways have advised that they will produce signs to let motorists know that checks on this road will be undertaken frequently while they are in the Pool area. Cllr Barry Anderson, Conservative, Adel and Wharfedale Ward, said:“I am delighted that the police are taking the speeding issue in Arthington village so seriously that they are prepared to increase their checks whilst they are in the area carrying out regular enforcement in Pool village. It is really pleasing that this is being backed up by immediate action from Highways to install the signage that goes with this increased activity.
