Current priorities
Speeding continues to be the biggest issue reported by the local residents within this beat area.
Several of the roads highlighted by residents were already part of our regular road safety patrols, where enforcement is carried out using the speed camera. Motorists found exceeding the legal speed limit are reported to our Central Ticket Office. Depending on the number of points already on their licence, they may: Be asked to attend a Speed Awareness Course Receive penalty points and a fine Be issued with a driving ban. Our presence on these roads is not solely about issuing fines but being visibly out in the community to act as a reminder for drivers to watch their speed, helping to prevent accidents before they happen. Speeding remains the most frequently raised concern from residents, and we will continue to prioritise visibility, education, and enforcement to help keep our roads safer.
