At last night’s Stronger Communities Board meeting, I called on our local police to deliver a more visible and effective approach to speed enforcement across Blythe Ward. While we greatly appreciate the valuable work of community speed watch groups, we need a stronger police presence to make our roads safer. I urged for increased use of mobile speed vans, handheld speed cameras, and, where appropriate, average speed systems alongside more public education on road safety. The Police acknowledged these concerns and confirmed they will review the matter and provide feedback on how enforcement and visibility can be improved.
