The residents of Marlow have raised concerns over speeding in the area, as a result the local neighbourhood team have began to plan periodic speed enforcement to tackle the issue

Most recently, the team have appealed for information relating to loud vehicles speeding along Dedmere road and surrounding areas. The speeding was seen a week after a 12 year old was involved in a serious injury road traffic incident on Station road (a little bit further down the road.) As well as working with the public to try and identify those responsible, the team will look to plan speed enforcement in response to the speeding and dangerous driving in this area. The suspect involved in the RTC has since been charged with four different driving offences.

Advising people on how they can make their homes unattractive prospects for burglars will play a large part in reducing and preventing burglary.
