People in Mansfield have shared their concerns over speeding in the area following the police conducting speed checks. After a number of concerns were raised by residents, Mansfield South Safer Neighbourhood Team conducted a Fatal 4 Operation relating to speeding vehicles.
The speed checks took place, last month on August 1, on Lindhurst Lane, Jubilee Way South and Bellamy Road, Mansfield. During the operation the speed of more than 160 vehicles were checked.
Pedestrians on Jubilee Way South told Nottinghamshire Live that the speeding can be ‘frightening’ and are relieved police have done checks. Diane Birks, a 42-year-old from Mansfield, says that pedestrians are especially wary of cars going too fast.
