Harpenden and Rural

During our last survey members of the public asked us to focus on speeding in Harpenden and Sandridge.

• Speed enforcement checks have been conducted in Luton Road, Cravells Road, Lower Luton Road and Station Road in Harpenden, Marford Road, Wheathampstead and Redbourn Road, Redbourn.
• Three traffic offence reports have been issued where drivers may be fined, sent on a drivers’ improvement course or summonsed directly to court or excessive speed.
• We will continue to go out at different times and days to catch anyone speeding.

During our last survey members of the public asked us to focus on anti-social behaviour in local parks, including drinking alcohol, smoking drugs and abusive behaviour.

• We have increased proactive patrols around the parks and worked with partner agencies including Harpenden Town Council.
• We have identified a group of young people causing anti-social behaviour in parks and in the town. The Community Safety Unit has sent letters to their parents.
• We will continue to monitor, engage and deal with any incidents.

We’re currently consulting the public on the issues they would like to see their local policing teams focusing on as a priority.
