| 18th June 2006 - Police enforce
30mph limit in Wivenhoe
It's not just our local police who are concerned about speeding
drivers, or police officers from the Stanway Traffic Control Unit who come
to Wivenhoe more frequently than people think to operate different types
of speed camera devices to monitor the speed of traffic, a police officer
from the Essex Safety Camera Partnership was here on Sunday morning for
while before moving to another Wivenhoe location.
Certainly one driver failed to spot the vehicle, and a few had to
noticeably brake in order to go past it within the legal limit of
30mph.
Wivenhoe Town Council want to encourage good and safe driving in
Wivenhoe's streets. We welcome and encourage these visits as a reminder to
residents to moderate their driving speed to the legal
limit.
The Essex Safety Camera Partnership is run by Essex
County Council, Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, Thurrock Council,
Highways Agency, Essex Police and Her Majesty's
Courts Service. More information can be found on their web site: click
