Since the launch of the Let’s Talk community survey last year, the issue of speeding has continually been listed as a priority by many of you in the New Forest.

On the question of ‘What are the issues affecting you in your community which would benefit from joint working between police, partners and community members to resolve?’, more of you have answered ‘speeding’ than any other issue.

And, on the question of ‘What would you say is the top issue that is affecting you most here?’, more of you have again answered ‘speeding’ than any other issue.

Reflecting upon and responding to your concerns, the Safer Roads Unit have again been completing lots of enforcement and deterrent across New Forest, using both mobile and fixed cameras.

In February, there were a total of 27 visits to our area, which equated to 68 hours and 45 minutes of speed checks across the district.

491 offences were recorded during those visits.

The aim of the enforcement we carry out is to help support you reduce the speed of traffic, making the roads safer for all road users, and reduce the risk of injury, collisions and casualties in our area.

We will continue to respond to your concerns and tackle the issues affecting you in your community, so please continue to let us know what is impacting you where you live.

In addition to the above, lots of other speed enforcement takes place across the New Forest. We'll continue to share details of these operations on our Facebook page (New Forest Police) and via Hampshire Alert. 

Thank you.
