Inspector Warns: Slow Down or Face the Consequences
Inspector Steve Kent of the Maidstone Community Safety Unit said, “Local officers have noted concerns raised by communities about vehicles failing to slow down as they enter the town.”
“While most motorists kept within the limit, some were clocked doing a reckless 40mph to 50mph.”
“These speeds endanger schoolchildren and other pedestrians. Drivers must remember their responsibility to protect others on the roads.”
Residents Urged to Stay Alert
The police are keeping a keen eye on these hotspots, urging motorists to slow down and keep the streets safe for families and kids on their way to school.
