Decision

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.

Please find below information pursuant to your request above.

Please note that the information provided below relates to the specific reasons listed in your request above.

Q1 - How many speed enforcement activities did the MPS undertake in the Borough of Wandsworth, using a hand held speed camera, in 2023? Please split the information between MPS-led activities and Community Speed Watch

For the period requested, we can confirm that the MPS recorded 966 Traffic Offence Reports (TOR’s) Speeding Offences using a handheld camera in the London Borough of Wandsworth. Please note that Community Road Watch (CRW) activity is not an enforcement activity and therefore, no FPNs/summons are ever issued. Drivers instead may receive a warning letter which is designed to engage & educate around choosing safe speeds in the future as a responsible driver/rider and in 2023, a total of 47 Sessions were held for drivers. We do not however, record borough level data for the number of vehicles detected whose registered keeper subsequently receives a warning letter.

2. How many red-light violation activities did the MPS undertake in the Borough of Wandsworth, using a hand held speed camera, in 2023? Please split the information between people driving (drivers) and people walking (cyclists).

In 2023 the MPS using a handheld speed camera, issued 81 Traffic Offences (TOR’s) to drivers in the London Borough of Wandsworth for red-light violation activities. Our searches however, on cycle red light offences produced a nil result. This is because we do not detect red light offences with handheld speed cameras.

Q3 - How many Road Traffic Collisions did MPS attend in 2023? Where possible please list separately how many of these RTCs involved a fatality, serious injuries, slight injuries, and/or damage
