Second speed enforcement location on Hollywood Lane in Wythall: A second enforcement location has been introduced on Hollywood Lane in Wythall following feedback from local residents. The new site, which is further down and oppostite Lynbrook Close, will enhance the enforcement activity along Hollywood Lane helping to reduce the number of speeding drivers even further. During the first three months of operation the number of speeding vehicles had reduced by 13%. Data collected also shows that during times of enforcement there is an average of 21 speeding offences per hour – that is one every three minutes.
