Residents previously asked us to focus on the following issues:
Checks on LGVs and waste carrying vehicles in Hitchin Urban
*The issue of some LGVs and waste carrying vehicles using Hitchin Urban road network whilst contravening relevant road traffic and related waste carrier legislation has been raised as an issue. During January and February your local team conducted checks to make sure that vehicles using local roads to transport waste were doing so safely with secure loads and in accordance with the law.

The unlawful use of E-scooters throughout Hitchin Urban
*The use of E-scooters on public land is not allowed, and can present a danger to pedestrians and other road users alike. The Neighbourhood Policing Team have undertaken patrols looking for e-scooters being used illegally. Users will be spoken to to address this issue including education and, where necessary and appropriate, enforcement of relevant legislation.

Tackle speeding on London Road B656
*Patrol and speed enforcement activity has taken place in and around the location to address the issue of speeding vehicles. Motorists exceeding the limit were stopped and spoken to about their speed.
