Traffic-related concerns, particularly speeding and unsafe parking around schools, have been raised by residents in Trentham.

These issues remain a key focus for the neighbourhood policing team, and we are committed to responding to what the local community is telling us.

Our local PCSO, who is a visible and trusted figure in the area, has delivered targeted education sessions to both parents and pupils. These sessions highlight the risks and disruption caused by unsafe parking, especially during school drop-off and pick-up times. By working closely with schools and residents, we aim to promote long-term behavioural change and improve road safety for everyone.

We’ve also made effective use of the Staffordshire Smart Alert system to keep residents informed and engaged. This allows us to respond swiftly to any emerging concerns, ensuring the community remains up to date with our activity and feels heard.

On the issue of speeding, our road crime team has maintained a strong presence in hotspot locations —particularly along the A34 — where enforcement action is taken when necessary. Section 59 warnings have also been issued to those engaging in anti-social driving behaviour, helping to deter repeat offences and encourage responsible use of the roads.

This remains an ongoing priority, and we will continue to combine education, enforcement, and community engagement to address these concerns throughout the coming months.
