Road Safety:
Community members have identified Road Safety (speeding) as being a priority the people of Uppingham want us to address over the next quarter.
We will provide a frequent high visibility policing presence, as part of a localised operation around Road Safety, to the affected areas with marked vehicle patrols and regular monitoring. We will deploy the speed laser device and deal with offenders robustly where appropriate. We will also continue to work with partner agencies, such as the Road Safety Partnership mobile speed camera van, to identify areas of concern and request deployment of that resource. We will then continue to publish the enforcement statistics on the Neighbourhood Link messaging service. www.neighbourhoodlink.co.uk
