🚔 Speed Awareness – Atherton Neighbourhood Policing Team 🚔

Yesterday on Hamilton Street, Atherton (20MPH limit), our team , supported by our fantastic Mini Police carried out a speed awareness operation to help keep our community safe.

 A total of 14 vehicles were stopped, with recorded speeds ranging from 26MPH to 31MPH.

Rather than enforcement, this was about education. Our Mini Police confidently introduced themselves as representatives of GMP and spoke with drivers about:

- The dangers of speeding

- Wet weather conditions (it rained heavily during the operation)

- Risks to pedestrians and animals

- The importance of slowing down around residential and school zones

 A big well done to our Mini Police for their excellent communication and professionalism, they did our community proud!

 Even a few miles over the limit can have serious consequences. Please remember: 20 means 20 – not 30.

Let’s all do our part to keep Atherton’s roads safe.
