Wiltshire Police took the opportunity
to carry out a stringent check on many motorists traveling
through the village on 26th February 2008. The reinforced
police presence included numerous motor cycle police,
support cars and patrolling officers stopping vehicles
to check for any motor tax dodgers, unroadworthy vehicles,

Wiltshire Police team had caught many drivers with
invalid tax, no insurance, no valid driving lisence,
motorists using mobile phones, heavy goods vehicles
