Road safety concerns, in particular speeding, are consistently raised by our local communities. Speed cameras (both mobile and fixed) are located in areas where there have been collisions and where there is a demonstrated speeding problem. Throughout November the local team with the assistance of the safer neighbourhood officer from Oswestry Rural North completed various speed surveys and enforcement within the area.
These enforcement's were done using a Trucam and any necessary penalties and correspondence will be sent directly to the registered keeper of any offending vehicles, as for the surveys, this data is collated and sent to the relevant departments and shared with the local parish councils. Please find below the outcomes for the activities: • Newtown/Shrewsbury Road, 63 vehicles checked with an average speed of 24.66mph and none in excess

Further activities will be carried out during December. If you are concerned about speeding in your area then this can be raised with your local parish/town council who will liaise with the Local Safer Neighbourhood policing team, who will then be able to look at data collection and offer advice on the most appropriate form of action. Lets keep our local roads safe. Thank you
