Hanford and Trentham

Traffic-related concerns continue to be raised and with the start of the new school year, this will remain a focus for our local officers

Our local PCSO has delivered targeted education sessions to both parents and pupils. These sessions highlight the risks and disruption caused by unsafe parking, especially during school drop-off and pick-up times. By working closely with schools and residents, we aim to promote long-term behavioural change and improve road safety for everyone. We’ve also made effective use of the Staffordshire Smart Alert system to keep residents informed and engaged. This allows us to respond swiftly to any emerging concerns, ensuring the community remains up to date with our activity and feels heard.

On the issue of speeding, our road crime team has maintained a strong presence in hotspot locations, particularly along the A34, where enforcement action is taken when necessary. Section 59 warnings have also been issued to those engaging in anti-social driving behaviour, helping to deter repeat offences and encourage responsible use of the roads.
