Road safety. Issued 20 July 2026 |
Officers continue to address road safety concerns through targeted patrols and enforcement activity in response to concerns raised by residents. Speed checks are carried out in locations identified as problem areas, helping to identify speeding drivers and improve safety for all road users. Officers also engage with motorists to promote safe and responsible driving and take action where offences are detected. Through ongoing patrols, enforcement and community engagement, officers continue to work to improve road safety and reduce the risk of collisions on local roads. Residents are encouraged to report dangerous, antisocial or inconsiderate driving, as information from the community helps officers identify problem locations and focus activity where it is most needed.
