Speeding

Following concerns raised by residents, speeding on rural roads has been identified as a priority for Wells Neighbourhood Policing Team.

Wells NPT is committed to improving road safety and addressing the concerns of local communities. We are working closely with the Speed Enforcement Team and local Community Speed Watch volunteers to identify problem locations, monitor vehicle speeds and take appropriate action where offences are detected.

Through targeted enforcement, education and community engagement, we aim to reduce speeding, improve driver behaviour and make our rural roads safer for everyone, including residents, farmers, cyclists, horse riders and pedestrians.

Residents can help by reporting locations where speeding is a concern. Information can be submitted through the Avon and Somerset Police website, by calling 101, or by speaking with members of the neighbourhood policing team at local community events. Reports from the public help us identify hotspots and direct enforcement activity where it is most needed.

Together with our partners and local communities, we will continue working to make Wells and the surrounding rural areas safer for everyone.
