Brakes on Carmarthenshire speeders
Neighbourhood Policing Teams across Carmarthenshire are helping to put the brakes on speeding drivers.
The Community Safety Partnership has purchased a speed radar gun for local Neighbourhood Policing Teams to use in communities where residents are concerned about speeding.
Drivers caught travelling over the speed limit will be prosecuted; but it is hoped the move will help to reduce speed generally and improve road safety for everyone living in the area.
Chairman of the partnership’s Road Safety Action Group Trevor Sage said: “Road safety is a key priority for the partnership which is working hard to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on our roads.
“Speeding is a major safety issue and is a huge concern for local communities. As a result, much work is being done across Carmarthenshire not only to reduce the speed of our traffic but also to educate drivers about the consequences of driving too fast.
“Hopefully this will make motorists think twice about the dangers they pose and help us make the roads safer for everyone.”
The Community Safety Partnership includes the council and the police as well as a number of other agencies and its aim is to make Carmarthenshire a safer place for both residents and visitors.
