“Speeding is an issue that residents are understandably concerned about, and we would like to reassure the people of Sneinton and Nottingham south that we regularly undertake speeding operations throughout the area.
“The result of this operation shows how important it is that we carry out action days like this to combat those who speed on our roads, don’t wear seat belts and use mobile phones while at the wheel, placing not only themselves but the public at risk.”
