Road safety concerns, in particular speeding, are consistently raised by our local communities.

Yesterday we have been out enforcing at Sommerfeld Road and detected 3 motorists going above the 30 mph speed limit.

Speeding can have a devastating impact on the safety of road users, increasing the risk of a collision and the severity of the consequences. If prosecuted for speeding, the minimum penalty is a £100 fine and 3 penalty points.

The mean average was 24 mph out of the 44 cars surveyed, this shows most vehicles are under the 30 mph limit. 

Enforcing the speed limit is a 24/7 activity for us so don’t risk it.
