The West Lancashire Crime and Disorder Partnership is helping
deter drivers from speeding by giving the Police £6,500 to buy two
hand-held laser devices. The speed guns let the Police target 'hot
spot' areas that are renowned for accidents, and will help to
reduce the number of people killed or injured on the roads.
You decide which areas are monitored
The local community can help to decide which areas the Police
should monitor through the Police
and Communities Together Meetings (PACT) - a regular monthly
meeting between the Police Community Beat Managers and local
residents.
How is the scheme working
Since the scheme started in April 2005 West Lancashire's Police
Community Beat Managers have spent over 80 hours engaged on high
visibility speed reduction activities resulting in 76 Fixed Penalty
Notices being issued to drivers with a further 61 motorists
receiving verbal warnings regarding the standard of their
driving.
