Stevenage MP Stephen McPartland joined Hertfordshire's Police and Crime Commissioner, David Lloyd, to launch the first Community DriveSafe scheme in the town which will allow residents of the area around Hertford Road to take the driving seat in dealing with speeding in their neighbourhood.
Stephen said, “I have received many complaints about speeding in this particular area of Stevenage since becoming a Member of Parliament and have worked closely with the Police to try and tackle the issue. I believe the Community DriveSafe scheme may finally provide the answer as the local community will be taking the lead in tackling speeding in this area. The support from the Police is vital in making this a success and shows how once again Stevenage is leading the way.”
The DriveSafe scheme is primarily aimed at road safety education and raising awareness of speeding.
