Good morning residents, 

We have had reports about possible speeding vehicles and car meets in the Mossey Green Way area, this is said to occur mainly in the evenings. The local policing teams in the area are aware of the concerns raised and we are continuing to patrol in the area, we will of course take any positive action where possible. We are asking road users to remain vigilant and report any offences that are witnessed, we are also taking this opportunity to make you aware of OP SNAP.

Operation Snap allows for members of the public to report and submit digital footage showing potential traffic offences via a secure online form. This can range from driving dangerously or carelessly to overtaking on solid white lines, using a mobile phone while driving, ignoring traffic lights or dangerous driving around other road users, such as horse riders and cyclists. If you do have a dash cam which records any road offences then the footage can be sent in via the  website link below:

Operation Snap | West Mercia Police 

Please note; issues with number plates, windscreens and minor traffic offences are unable to be dealt with via Op Snap and general parking complaints should be raised with the relevant local authority. Notification of untaxed vehicles can be reported directly to DVLA, reports of no MOT or no insurance should be logged to 101, not via the Op Snap portal.

Submissions made to OP SNAP will be sent to West Mercia Police, the evidence will then be reviewed by one of our road traffic police officers. One statement is required for each submission/offending vehicle, please note, we are unable to process multiple offences sent as one submission.

We will strive to update each submitter regarding the outcome of their allegation. All submissions are dealt with pro-actively to help reduce risk taking and poor driving on our counties roads.

Any footage submitted through the portal can be used by us to help educate other road users and to advise on case results.

Please note - if you operate a recording device in a public place, you may have obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It is in your interest to familiarise yourself, and comply with, any such obligations as apply to you. If you are in any doubt as to your obligations, please obtain independent legal advice to ensure you do not put yourself at risk of prosecution. By submitting footage you acknowledge you have read and understood this before proceeding.
