Drivers were observed to be obeying the speed limit on the A607 Melton Road at Waltham, however, where no speeders were captured by the speed gun in the 110 minutes officers were present.

Melton Police said they carried out the campaign during August in response to concerns raised by residents and through Neighbourhood Link Surveys, social media and face-to-face Interaction.
