Speeding report shows strong progress despite lack of government support
At a meeting of Environment and Sustainable Communities Overview and Scrutiny Committee last night, a report on speeding traffic was presented to committee members. The report showed the positive impact of schemes like average speed cameras and the Community Speed Watch have had on speeding figures. Commenting on the report, Mayor Dave Hodgson said "Speeding traffic is so often raised as a major concern by residents I talk to across Bedford Borough. That's why we've taken real action to make our roads safer for everyone. We were the first place in the country to introduce average speed cameras on ordinary roads as an effective deterrent against speeding. I'm pleased this report demonstrates that the schemes are working and road users can feel safer."
