Good afternoon,

Speed enforcement has been carried out this afternoon on Wetherby Way as part of the NPCC Fatal Five operation with zero activations.

Running from Monday 1 April to Tuesday 30 April, the month of action has been coordinated by the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), with the warning from Cheshire's Roads and Crime Unit (RCU) being that if you speed in the region, police will be taking robust action.

Over the next few weeks, officers will be visiting key hotspot areas on the lookout for any road users travelling at excess speed, driving dangerously and putting not only their own lives, but other road users lives, at risk.

Throughout the course of the month-long operation, officers will be educating drivers on how to stay safe whilst on the road and will be enforcing the law against those who actively choose to drive recklessly.

Speed limits are set for a reason and exceeding them is illegal. The minimum penalty for speeding is £100 fine and three points added to your licence. Receiving 12 or more points within three years may disqualify you from driving.
