Posting on the team’s Facebook page – fb.com/SherwoodNorthPolice – Bill Kerr wrote: “How about going down Main Road, Boughton, at school times? You would have to take loads of tickets with you some of the parking is unbelievable.”

Katie Macefield suggested Rainworth bypass, while Bob Nutter said police should target Wellow Road, as “some use it as a race track”.

Noreen Laffan suggested the police head back to Ollerton Police Station, saying: “Just sit on Forest Road every day, you will make a fortune. Amazing how they speed past the police station, laughing at you all.”

However, Scott Pugh said: “With the amount of potholes in Mansfield, nobody wants to speed. They are to busy swerving to avoid causing damage.”
