Speeding and other motoring offences are being tackled in all parts of Helensburgh and Lomond, police have vowed.

Despite limited resources, Police Scotland vowed road safety was a top priority and they were responding to reports of trouble hotspots in the area.

Inspector Bart Simonis was asked about the problem with speeding motorists and other poor driving behaviour at Helensburgh Community Council.

He told the meeting on May 30: "I'm hoping every day we have a speed check somewhere.

"Road safety in Dumbarton regularly come down and we have a good relationship with the MoD and Royal Navy Police.

"We are trying to maximise the resources we have got.

"People regularly email in with complaints. Where we can get [resources], don't worry, I will be asking for them."

Speeding near Hermitage Academy was raised as a particular concern, and police have previously put attention there.

There was also a recent road safety event based at the school.

One member of the community council asked: "What does it take for something to change in this town? What does it take to get traffic calming? Does it take a person, a child, a death?"

Inspector Simonis said road changes were a matter for Argyll and Bute Council.

But he added: "Our responsibility is to reduce road deaths. We cannot arrest our way out of this problem.

"We cannot be on every street corner on every day. Detection is a priority but so is education."
