I wanted to provide you with an update regarding dangerous driving and speeding, which some members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.
Speed Enforcement Operation – East Wickham Ward
On
26/05/2026 , the team conducted a speed enforcement operation within
East Wickham Ward. The operation focused on monitoring vehicle speeds
and improving road safety in the area.
During the deployment:
A number of vehicles were checked for compliance with speed limits.
Community reassurance patrols were also carried out to address local concerns regarding speeding traffic.
The
operation aimed to deter speeding, reduce the risk of collisions, and
improve safety for residents and road users. Overall, the activity
contributed to increased visibility of policing presence within the
ward.
If someone is driving a motor vehicle, they should always be doing so in a safe and considerate manner. Even momentary lapses in judgement can have life changing or devastating consequences for those in the vehicle or innocent bystanders.
Activities such as street racing, cruising or performing tricks can count as anti-social behaviour. If you are concerned about this in your area, visit our website for the latest guidance and how you can report this. You can also report dangerous driving in your area.
We are working on our brand-new strategy for how we police London and we want your help. Our New Met for London: Phase 2 strategy will guide how we deliver on behalf of Londoners over the next three years.
