Although there is strong evidence to show regular, very excessive speeds on Baden Powell Way CBC are unable to act as the road is yet to be adopted.
This means responsibility falls to the police to work towards reducing speeds. I have written to them to ask for more speed checks and mobile speed units. They have indicated that they will add Baden Powell Way to the list of sites for ‘periodic enforcement’ but also point out they have lots of sites. Please let me know if you see mobile speed cameras monitoring the road. If there is no evidence of any enforcement within a reasonable time frame I will go back to them.
I would also encourage local residents to write to the crime commissioner, Kathryn Holloway, (pcc@bedfordshire.pnn.police.uk) and keep this issue on her agenda. If we work together to keep up the pressure something will be done.
