Road safety.

Issued 22 July 2026

The local officer continues to support road safety across the area by carrying out regular speed checks at locations where concerns have been raised by residents or where speeding has been identified as an ongoing issue. Using local knowledge of the road network, enforcement activity is targeted at areas where it can have the greatest impact on reducing risk. Drivers found exceeding the speed limit may face enforcement action, including prosecution, or be offered educational courses to help them understand the dangers of speeding and its impact on other road users. This ongoing work aims to make roads safer for everyone who lives, works and travels through the area.
