Residents in Lightwood and the wider Longton South area have raised clear concerns about speeding and anti-social driving

We are actively working in partnership with the local authority to explore potential traffic calming measures and to promote road safety through education. Alongside this, we are liaising with our road policing team to identify opportunities for targeted enforcement in key hotspot areas where dangerous driving behaviours have been reported.

We’re also proud to support a dedicated group of local residents who run a Community Speed Watch initiative. Their ongoing commitment has already produced positive results and plays a vital role in both deterring speeding and raising awareness of the risks associated with it.

Ensuring the safety of all road users and residents remains a top priority. We will continue to use a combination of education, partnership working, community involvement, and enforcement to reduce the risks associated with speeding and antisocial driving in the coming months.

Community cohesion and relationship building between the communities of Lightwood and Longton South where concerns have been raised around celebrations, particularly the use of fireworks.

We are working alongside residents and local councillors to promote community to build relationships. We want to encourage a better understanding of how this can impact people’s quality of life, while at the same time recognising and respecting important cultural traditions. By building that awareness together, we can help ensure celebrations are enjoyed in a way that is considerate to everyone.
