Speed enforcement activity

Road safety concerns, in particular speeding, are consistently raised by our local communities.

Today, the Oswestry Safer Neighbourhood Team carried out speed enforcement at locations requested by members of the public.

We focused our efforts on Morda Road and Morda Bank, both of which are 30mph zones.

During the checks, one driver was recorded travelling at 36mph. This motorist will shortly receive a Notice of Intended Prosecution. Speeding, the minimum penalty is a £100 fine and 3 penalty points.

Given that this is a busy residential area, with a high school nearby and a cricket ground close by, it's especially important that motorists remain mindful of their speed to ensure the safety of all road users and pedestrians.

We’re encouraged by today’s results and thank the local community for continuing to support our efforts to keep Oswestry safe.

Speeding can have a devastating impact on the safety of road users, increasing the risk of a collision and the severity of the consequences.
