You Said, We Did

• From 01/03/2012 to 31/03/2012 - Speeding

  You said: One of our last local priorities was to tackle speeding in the area.

  We did: Over the course of the month we held several speed enforcement events resulting in warning letters and fixed penalty notices being issued. In early March, a dangerous parking problem was reported at school drop off and pick up times at Church Road, Junction with Kinnerton Road, Dodleston. High vis patrol carried out in area by PC Sharron Beverley - also liaised with school who have sent out letters to all parents of children at Dodleston Primary, and liaised with local Parish Council and Highways to address the problem.

• Speeding, Eccleston

  You said: We are concerned about the speed of vehicles using Eaton Road and Rake Lane in Eccleston.

  We did: Local Officer, PC Sharron Beverley and PCSO Debbie Netherton conducted speed enforcement operations on both roads. Despite monitoring a large number of vehicles, they found only a very small number were travelling just over the 30mph speed limit, with no vehicles exceeding 40mph. Verbal warnings were given to these drivers.
