Villagers in Keyworth say issues around speeding in the area are ‘frightening’ after Rushcliffe police carried out speed checks in the village. Officers recently conducted a speed check operation in Keyworth, resulting in more than 20 vehicles being stopped for offences such as speeding and using a mobile phone whilst driving.
Residents have shared their concerns over the issue and say it’s mainly on the stretches of roads which lead motorists in and out of the village. Jim Bywater, who is retired, said he has previously seen these checks being carried out in the past and thinks speed bumps would be a benefit to the area.
The 57-year-old said: “It does sound like a lot, I am aware of it and it’s frightening. I’ve seen things on Spotted Keyworth asking if speed bumps can be put in which I think it would be great. It’s Nottingham Road, and I’ve seen the police outside the school before, out with a speeding gun. Nottingham Road going through Plumtree is quite a fast road between Keyworth and Plumtree.
