Speeding motorists targeted during week of checks Lowestoft

Speed checks were carried out on three busy stretches of roads in the Lowestoft area last week.

After concerns had been raised about vehicles speeding in areas across the town, Traffic Offence Reports (TORs) were handed out to drivers for excess speeding while numerous motorists were also pulled over and spoken to by police.

A drink driver was also arrested by officers.

In a post on its Facebook page, a Lowestoft Police spokesman said the team was "busy conducting speed checks in the areas where concerns were raised by the community" across Lowestoft.

This led to the speed enforcement checks taking place on Ashburnham Way in Carlton Colville on Peto Way in Normanston and on Westwood Avenue in the Whitton ward.
