Community Safety Update from Cheshire Police

If you’re going out for an essential journey, please do it safely and lawfully – don’t put other road users at risk or the NHS under further strain.

Key workers are still commuting to work. Loved ones are still shopping for food. Don’t put more lives at risk by driving too fast.

Our road safety speed checks will continue as long as we have the resources to support them. Speeding and other road safety checks are an important part of our approach to preventing road collisions –the most serious of which would put extra strain on the NHS at a time when it is already under extreme pressure.

We have a duty to uphold the law and keep our roads safe for everyone. Reducing harm on the roads through road safety speed checks remains a priority for the police.

We have seen less congestion on the roads, however this has led some drivers to drive at high speed risking their lives and those of other road users. We have a duty to uphold the law and keep our roads safe for everyone.

Please drive lawfully and safely and in doing so keep precious emergency service resources free.
