Local people tell police consistently that road safety and speeding vehicles are a top concern to them in the Mercia policing beat area.
Today, (Thursday 2 April), Mercia Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) joined forces with the Constabulary's Casualty Reduction Enforcement Support Team (CREST) to tackle speeding in our rural villages.
Every day numerous collisions take place on Derbyshire roads. Whilst some are relatively minor in nature, others tragically result in lives being changed forever. And speeding remains one of the top four causes of all collisions involving serious injury or loss of life.
During targeted enforcement, at several village locations, 20 motorists were observed speeding during today's session.
Thank you to our community for speaking up about road safety. Today's action shows that tackling speeding vehicles remains a priority for local police.
Together, we're making our roads safer for everyone who lives, works, and travels through our villages.
