Leicestershire Police, Rutland North Road Safety March 2026 Speed Enforcement Update

Leicestershire Police, Rutland North Road Safety March 2026 Speed Enforcement Update


Road safety remains a top priority for the Rutland North policing team. In a continued effort to reduce risk and respond to community concerns, PC 1741 Holly Bland has released the latest enforcement figures from the Road Safety Partnership mobile speed camera van for March 2026.

The data highlights a proactive approach to monitoring key routes, with varying levels of compliance across the beat area. While several locations showed high levels of driver responsibility, others remain significant "hotspots" for speeding offences.

The March 2026 Breakdown


The mobile enforcement van spent significant time across eleven specific locations in Rutland North this month. Here is a summary of the activity:

Cottesmore (Greetham Road) 2 visits (220 mins) 56 offences

Ryhall (A6121 Stamford Road) 1 visit (110 mins) 29 offences

Great Casterton (Old Great North Rd) 1 visit (100 mins) 10 offences

Whitwell (A606 Main Street) 1 visit (80 mins) 7 offences

Egleton (A6003 - 50mph) 1 visit (80 mins) 5 offences

Barnsdale (A606 Stamford Road) 2 visits (160 mins) 3 offences

Burley (B668 Cottesmore Road) 1 visit (90 mins) 1 offences

Greetham (B668 Oakham Road) 1 visit (80 mins) 1 offences



Notably, three locations Cottesmore (Village)Cottesmore (Rogues Lane), and Stretton (Stocken Hall Road) recorded zero offences during their respective monitoring periods, demonstrating excellent compliance with local speed limits.

The figures for Cottesmore (Greetham Road) and Ryhall stand out significantly. With 56 offences recorded in Greetham Road alone, it is clear that certain stretches of road continue to see high rates of non-compliance.

The Rutland North team emphasises that these enforcement locations are not chosen at random; they are identified through a combination of collision data, speed surveys, and direct feedback from residents who tell the police that road safety matters to them.

"We will continue to proactively patrol, use speed detection equipment, deal robustly with offenders, and work with partner agencies to tackle behaviour that puts others at risk."

— PC 1741 Holly Bland

While these figures focus on the Rutland North beat, the Road Safety Partnership operates extensively across Rutland South, Oakham, and Uppingham. The goal is a consistent presence across the county to ensure that the roads remain safe for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.

The message from Rutland Police is clear: by staying within the limit, you aren't just avoiding a fine you are actively helping to reduce the risk of serious injury on local roads.
