Jonathan Clarkson, spokesperson for the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Road Safety Partnership, said: “When we receive a Community Concern request, we review the most recent vehicle speed data for the location concerned.”

He said locations are only added to the partnership’s enforcement programme where there is evidence of both a speeding problem and a history of injury collisions.

Mr Clarkson added: “If the survey data indicates that speeding is not an issue, no further action will be taken. Where the data confirms both a speeding problem and a recent history of injury collisions, the location will be added to our Community Concern site list and considered for enforcement activity.”
