Councillor Arjun Singh who has been campaigning for the device says he is happy it has now been installed.

He said: “I’ve been proud to help bring it forward for our community.

“Early data from the device is already very encouraging, showing a noticeable reduction in vehicle speeds along Wood Lane.”

He added: “This is a positive step towards improving road safety and protecting residents.

“This is a step closer to having safer roads across our villages, and it’s great to see a community-led initiative already making a real difference.

“We will continue to monitor the data and provide further updates.”
