policing around the southampton motorway areas

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Passing this on to those that may have an interest


Subject: FW: Important Traffic Information


Some of you may find this of interest.
If you use the M27 or the M3 this potentially affects you so please
proceed with caution and pass onto anyone who you feel might just need
to know. The program a BBC South commission called "Traffic Cops" will
be filmed covering the area from Ringwood concentrating on Ringwood M27
up to M3 J9 and a team working the ringroad around Southampton (Totton
will have a unit working it alone), Cosham M27 stretch to J5 of the M27
(Southampton Airport turn-off).
The fourth concentration is working from Winchester Services covering M3
to J10 M3 (Winchester South) using five unmarked cars, two Black Skoda
03 registration Octavias, an 05 plate dark red Mondeo and two Volvo
saloon cars.

The BBC unit are going to be based out of a unit in Millbrook Road in
Southampton and will also be covering the armed police response unit and
the Southampton Airport Police Security / British Transport Police team.

The BBC team are in Citroen Picasso MPVs leased from Arriva.

To make it even more effective the Traffic police have authority from
Chief Constable to "work to rule" So instead of the laid back approach
to the usual Hants traffic police this will be a lot more concentrated
to make it effective filming.

You have been warned
