Rise in Forth Valley speeding fines

Tuesday, 12 November 2024 00:00

New figures show a 30% rise in the number of speeding fines issued across the Forth Valley.

Data from a Freedom of Information request by Central FM News shows 5355 were issued in the twelve months to September.

That's an increase of over 1200 from the same period the year before.

The figures covered Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire, between 1st October 2023 and 30th September 2024.

Police Scotland said no data was available about revenue made from these fines.

Residents in Fishcross and Thornhill are among those who've raised concerns about speeding in the last couple of years.
