Officers have been working with residents to identify the roads where speeding is causing the greatest concern. Information provided by the community, together with data from Community Speedwatch volunteers, helps identify locations where enforcement activity is most needed.
Targeted speed enforcement has already been carried out as part of ongoing road safety work, with officers using speed detection equipment to monitor driver behaviour and take action where offences are identified.
Further enforcement activity is planned in locations where concerns have been reported. We will continue to work with local communities and road safety partners to help reduce speeding and improve safety for all road users.
