Freedom of Information (FOI) Act request ref: 01/FIN/25/003208/T

Version Date: 23/05/2025

The Dorset Road Safety Team have provided the following information.

Please note that Dorset Police issue Notices of Intended Prosecution (NIP’s) which result in, EDUCATION, CONDITIONAL OFFER OF FIXED PENALTY or COURT.

The data therefore identifies the number of NIPs processed at the Central Ticket Office where the outcome is one of EDUCATION, CONDITIONAL OFFER OF FIXED PENALTY or COURT.

These figures do not include cancelled offences.

I would like to know how many speeding tickets have been issued per year by the camera at A348 Ringwood Rd, West Howe.

 Secondly I would like to know how many of those tickets were issued to drivers who are not local, as defined by not having a BH postcode.

4,575

Finally the reason why the speed limit was dropped to 30mph in 2023

No information held. Dorset Police does not hold this data. Dorset Police’s responsibility is to enforce the speed as per any given restriction. The Local Authority are responsible for setting speed restrictions and this question should be directed to the Local Authority for this data.
