Damian welcomes the announcement by Hampshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones that average speed cameras will be installed along stretches of the A32 and A272, in order to address the long standing issue of excessive vehicle noise that impacts residents who live close by. Along with other roads policing tactics, it is hoped that this will reduce the blight on an area that is known and valued for its peace and tranquility.
Damian said in a statement:
"Concerns about excessive vehicle noise on these rural routes and the impact this has on local residents, has been a growing issue. Often the result of speeding, excessive road noise not only blights the lives of local people, but threatens an area known and valued for its beauty and tranquillity.
“Along with neighbouring MP Flick Drummond and local councillors I have continued to engage with both Hampshire Police and the Hampshire Highways team. I want to thank them and Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones for securing the installation of average speed cameras on these routes.
“This is a significant investment, and I look forward to seeing the work completed.”
