A JOINT day of action between Cambridgeshire police and Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service will see speeding drivers in Ramsey targeted next week.
A Speedwatch group has been set up in the town after speeding was flagged up as a priority, and volunteers measure vehicle speeds to identify problem areas and speeding hotspots.
Officers will be visiting those areas of Ramsey on Wednesday (May 4) and anyone caught speeding will be given a fixed penalty notice.
Those caught committing other offences, including not wearing a seatbelt or driving while on the phone, will be offered a session with the fire service as an alternative to prosecution.
