ivinghoe Crime Intelligence

The local Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to work proactively to reduce speeding and improve safety across our communities.
Speeding has been selected by the community following the most recent community survey.
Further speed surveys will be conducted to identify areas of concern, which will then be targeted with dedicated enforcement days. The outcomes of this work will be shared in future updates.
It is important to note that the perception of speeding can sometimes be greater than the reality. Residents who feel strongly about this issue are encouraged to get involved in Community Speedwatch schemes, which play a valuable role in raising awareness and promoting safer driving.
