Status Update

By working in conjunction with partner agencies and listening to the local community we are able to identify high-risk areas and develop longer-term solutions through traffic calming measures and more appropriate road signage.

You will see your beat officers providing patrols at local schools at key times to improve the safety of pupils, parents and road users. We will also try to educate and enforce the laws around child car seats and use of seatbelts.

Our team have planned speeding, road traffic offending and vehicle checks operations across the Rushey Mead area throughout the coming months, to catch those breaking the law.

The team will also be targeting motorbikes and those causing a nuisance and ASB. You will see signs being placed across the beat area warning against riding motorbikes on our green spaces.

We are also committed to identifying those who use vehicles without the correct documentation such as valid driving licences and valid insurance.

Please contact the team if you have any concerns.
