Hide AdA post on the Selby Neighbourhood Policing Team Facebook page reads: "Good morning everyone!
"We know the sight of the lovely snow is really attractive but please do not head to locations to go sledging!
"We have already had several families attend Brayton Barff which in turn has created a gathering in breach of Covid regulations and travelling to this location to do so is a non essential journey.
"We promise we are not kill joys but it's really important you follow the guidance and stay home. What better day to stay warm and toasty inside!"
