Local Priorities Speeding Message

Local Priorities Speeding Message

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Speeding, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

Tredegar Neighbourhood Team, alongside our colleagues from Roads Policing and South Wales Fire and Rescue Service (SWFRS), have teamed up to carry out Op Atal on Thomas Ellis Way, Tredegar.

We have been listening to local residents who have raised concerns about speeding along this road, and today’s activity forms part of our ongoing work to address these concerns and improve road safety within our community.

During the operation, a total of 12 TORs (Traffic Offence Reports) were issued for:

🔹 6 x seatbelt offences
🔹 1 x mobile phone offence
🔹 6 x speeding offences (exceeding 31mph)

In addition, SWFRS carried out 24 educational engagements with road users travelling above 20mph, providing advice and reminding drivers of the importance of safe and responsible driving.

We will continue to listen to the concerns of our residents and work alongside our partner agencies to tackle road safety issues across Tredegar.

If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.gwent.police.uk, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101. 

Alternatively, you can stay 100 per cent anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
