New powers for safer roads

Moving Traffic Contraventions from the Police.
The aim is to make roads in the Borough safer by
encouraging drivers to obey traffic signs.
During August warning notices will be issued to drivers
who ignore the signs and then from Friday 18 September Fixed Penalty Notices
for £130 will be issued.
