Policing needs to be ‘more imaginative’ about enforcing 20mph speed limits around the Thames Valley, says the crime commissioner. Several members of the Thames Valley Police and Crime Panel sought an indication of how seriously Thames Valley Police were taking speed limit enforcement during public questions at a meeting on Friday, March 13. They agreed that lives were at risk if 20mph speed limits on local roads were not enforced. “The introduction of a speed limit doesn’t automatically mean there will be a greater level of enforcement,” he told the panel. Mr Barber said there are already routes for PCSOs to do speed enforcement, citing the example of traffic PCSOs in Greater Manchester Police.
