anyway unless placed at problem sites. Traffic officer numbers decreased dramatically from 2011/12 not 2016, if they had explored the earlier years they would have discovered a much larger decrease. Then we come to existing traffic officer numbers, most are in a ANPR intercept

Another hit & run.
The needs & safety of #VulnerableRoadUsers continue to be ignored as political parties obsess about immigrants.
