Police crackdown on speeding in Sherwood Forest

Officers from Nottinghamshire Police’s Sherwood North policing team visited Eakring Road, Wellow, following “complaints of speeding”.

A team spokesman said: “We are pleased to say only two drivers had to be warned for doing 33 miles per hour in a 30mph zone. Further speed operations will be done in the coming weeks.”

And officers from the Ollerton neighbourhood policing team have been out “conducting speed checks in the area”.

A team spokesman said: “Several vehicles have been stopped and some were captured doing speeds between 40 and 50 mph. All those stopped were issued with a fixed penalty notice.”
