You Said, We Did

The issue of speeding in Saltrens reamins a priority. We are working closely with our colleagues on the Traffic Department to educate drivers and ensure that the speed limit is adhered to.Due to the recent adverse weather we have not been able to monitor the speed of vehicles. This still remains a priorityDuring the month of February you local neighbourhood team supported by the Barnstaple Traffic Department have carried out regular speed checks. During the month only 1 Endorseable Fixed Penalty Notice was Issued and 20 drivers were verbally warned.A regular presence at various times appears to be having the desired effect.
