he police must be really fed up with being used and abused by the county council which, yet again, is introducing speed restrictions, while ignoring the contrary advice of both the police and motoring organisations. They are behaving like badly run companies, where individual managers look after themselves while building their own little empires rather than looking at the long-term bigger picture and working as a team.

Like any other organisation, the police have finite resources, and if they are expected to police additional speed restrictions, it is logical that – assuming they are already working at 100 per cent efficiency – they will have to stop working in other areas.

So perhaps our clever county councillors can tell us tax payers what areas will no longer be policed?

If they can’t do this, then perhaps they could explain why they spend vast amounts on non-policeable schemes in a time of financial crisis?
