Reports relating to road safety concerns

Officers continue to prioritise road safety by conducting targeted speed checks across several key locations within the beat area.

These include Hathern Road, Anson Road, Loughborough Road, and Cambridge Street—areas identified through community feedback and traffic data as needing increased enforcement.
The ongoing operations aim to deter speeding, enhance driver awareness, and ensure safer conditions for all road users.
