Speeding on Portsmouth Road and speeding on Freelands Road were voted joint top priority for the coming quarter. Other concerns raised included speeding and drugs in the Tilt Road area, the Surrey Police attitude to a 30mph limit for Stoke Road and the “mud patch” on Coveham Road. Officers reported on local crime statistics, including arrests. Those residents present were asked what they thought about our Police service. (Mar 2013)
