Road Safety

The recent PACT survey from residents has informed us that a local priority should be focused on Road safety.
PC Lambton will conduct patrols in and around the town centre, of note Dalton Road where there have been recent reported violations of the no entry signs.
In addition following requests from local residents a Speed indication device has been placed on Greengate Street to ascertain further details regarding speeding complaints, the data will be analysed and problem times referred in to highways.
Ironworks Road has been highlighted as an area of concern regarding speeding motorists particularly in the evening, on the 26th May 2025 one motorist identified travelling at 45mph in the 30 zone was issued a ticket, also dealt with for other driving offences. The police speed camera van is deployed frequently to this location
