Speed Monitoring - Mellock Lane, Little Neston

If you were travelling along:

📍 Mellock Lane, Little Neston
📆 Yesterday - Tuesday 18th March 
⏰ Between 1.45pm and 2.40pm

you may have noticed we were carrying out some speed monitoring outside St. Winefrides Catholic Primary School.  This was due to reports of vehicles travelling in excess of the roads 20mph speed limit.

PCSO Dalton, who was joined by the schools Junior Safety Officers Natalie and Harrison and the Junior Safety Officers in-waiting (for next year) Bee and Jack, was sad to report that a number of vehicles were travelling in excess of the speed limit at this time and if it was not for the fact that the speed monitors were all wearing hi-vis vests believes a lot more vehicles would have been doing so also.

⚠️ Speeding is one of the Fatal 5 offences that cause collisions resulting in serious injuries and deaths on our roads.

As well as delivering vital road safety benefits, lower driving speeds help to improve quality of life, especially in urban areas, as they reduce emissions, fuel consumption and noise. #Fatal5
