The problems regarding speeding vehicles in Bandywood Road and Kettlehouse Road have been an issue for some time. As a result, as you’re local Councillors Councillor Barbara Dring and I have had to raise this issue with the Transportation Department and the Police on a number of occasions.
The Council’s Transportaion Department have constantly rejected calls to take action. We have however now got a commitment from the Police, to work with local residents with portable speed camera equipment.
Both Councillor Barbara Dring and I as part of the Police Neighbourhood Tasking team have received assurance that this equipment funded by the Oscott Ward Committee will be used in the area regularly. This should help act as a deterrent to speeding motorists. Although it is not the complete answer to speeding in the Oscott area. It is a move in the right direction.
We will however continue to put pressure on the Transportation Department to deal with the problems residents face with speeding motorists.
Community Speed Watch is where the Police and trained volunteer members of the public use hand held speed cameras to help detect speeding vehicles on designated roads. Offenders will receive warning letters and persistent offenders may have action taken against them.
