In Earlsdon we continue to try and address speeding, anti-social driving and inconsiderate parking, issues which continue to be flagged to us. In particular, speeding at the top of Earlsdon Street and Beechwood Avenue remains prominent. We also continue to move-on inconsiderately parked taxis in the evenings while patrolling, and delivery vehicles where and when reported to us.

Status Update
In response to the issue of speeding, we deploy marked police vehicles and blue-light trained drivers to patrol the area on a regular basis. We have also requested Hand Held Laser Speed device training courses for Officers new to the team so that they can carry out Speed Watch operations. We are increasing our pro-active patrols and visibility in the area to reflect our approach to tackling these issues.

Issued: 13 May 2026
