Hastings Police and volunteers record driver speeding at 48mph in 30mph zone

A police spokesperson said: "Following community concerns about excessive speeding, the Neighbourhood Policing Team joined Community Speed Watch (CSW) on Elphinstone Road for a proactive speed monitoring operation, another outing for the Speed Indication Device (SID).

"While the majority of drivers were within the legal limit, we did stop and speak with several motorists, including one individual recorded at 48mph in a 30mph zone.

"This level of speeding is unacceptable and poses a serious risk to all road users.

"Education and enforcement around speeding, and the potentially life-changing consequences it can have, remain a one of our priorities. We are committed to working alongside CSW and local residents to make our roads safer for everyone.

"We will continue to support Community Speed Watch initiatives and take robust action where necessary.
