Hotham Road North speeding

John Fareham and John Abbott are working with the Police to resolve problems with speeding on Hotham Road North.

We have received complaints from local residents to the effect that some motorists are using Hotham Road North as a rat run and exceeding the speed limit as they do so.  We have therefore referred the matter to the Police who say that, if there is a portable speed camera available for use, they will be happy to bring it here and see if they can secure evidence against someone speeding. For legal reasons, if speed camera readings are to be used in court, the camera must first be calibrated to ensure its readings are accurate, but if that is not possible one can least be used to check that a problem does indeed exist.
