👮‍♂️ Speeding in Wilton 👮‍♀️

Over the last few weeks, the Wilton & Harnham Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) have undertaken two 30 minute speed enforcement sessions on The Avenue.

During these sessions, where uniformed police officers & community support officers were monitoring speeds with a mobile device, 54 vehicles were found to be exceeding the 30mph limit:
👨‍🏫 42 drivers were offered a speed awareness course
💷 12 drivers were issued a Fixed Penalty Notice and 3 points on their licence
🏎 The highest speed recorded was 47mph. More than 1½ times the limit.

Can you afford for your next journey to cost £100 and 3 points? ☹️

🚸 Please help us keep our roads safer by slowing down

We have 4 Speed Indicator Devices (SIDs) around the town which help us monitor traffic volumes and speeds, which we can use to help identify areas for the police to target for speed enforcement sessions.

Thank you to our volunteers who help maintain our SIDs 👏

Also thank you to the Wilton & Harnham NPT for coming to Monday`s Council meeting to update us. They will be attending our Annual Town Meeting next Monday and are happy to answer your questions there 🚓
