Dear Resident,

We recognise that excessive and inappropriate speeds of vehicles on our roads can affect the quality of life for many communities.

Officers from your local Safer Neighbourhood Team were out this afternoon conducting speed surveys, motorists travelling on Priorslee Avenue were travelling at an average speed of 27mph.

There are currently many Community Speed Watch groups set up across all three counties whereby speed can be monitored, and the data is collected and used to determine the cause of the problem and what action can be taken.

Volunteers conduct speed checks in groups in an area where there is a concern about speeding vehicles. There has been a large amount of feedback to suggest that motorists visibly slow down they see the volunteers by the roadside carrying out speed monitoring. 

To find out more information head to: Could you make a difference to the safety of the roads in your community? | West Mercia Police

If you would like to be a part of a Community Speed Watch in your area, please get in touch with us.

Thank you for your help. It is only by the police and the public working together that we can prevent and detect crime. 

Thank you.
