🚔 Operation Snap: Helping Make Our Roads Safer

Many residents contact me about dangerous driving, speeding, drivers using mobile phones, and other poor behaviour on our roads.

What many people don't realise is that if you have clear footage from a dashcam, helmet camera, CCTV, or even a passenger-recorded mobile phone, you can submit it directly to West Mercia Police through Operation Snap.

Operation Snap allows officers to review footage of suspected driving offences and, where appropriate, take action against the driver.

Examples include:
📱 Using a mobile phone while driving
🚦 Failing to stop at red lights
⚠️ Dangerous or careless driving
🚗 Overtaking on solid white lines
🚴 Dangerous close passes of cyclists
🐎 Poor driving around horse riders

Road safety is everyone's responsibility. If you witness dangerous driving and have footage, don't just be frustrated by it. Report it.

Together we can help make Bromsgrove and Worcestershire's roads safer for everyone.

The first meeting of the Stourport Vision Steering Group took place on Thursday 21st May 2026. The steering group brings together representatives from Stourport-on-Severn Town Council, Wyre Forest District Council and Worcestershire County Council, plus local community and business groups.

Together they will look at the interventions contained within the Stourport Vision document, and how those can be turned into reality with the focus of making Stourport an even better place to live, work and visit.

You can read the Stourport Vision document here: https://www.stourporttowncouncil.gov.uk/stourport-future/stourport-on-severn-a-vision-for-the-future/

If you have a question, you can email: [email protected].

This is nice to know, but roads in streets are looking like they are from the movie set of a western. Wheelchair users are finding this most unmanageable when using the pavements ♿️

Overgrown trees or shrubs causing an obstruction? Here’s what you need to know 🌳

We can help if vegetation is:
✅ Growing from the highway surface
✅ Blocking or affecting safe public passage
✅ Dangerous or causing an inconvenience on the highway

We are not responsible for:
• Trees or vegetation that do not affect the public highway
• Trees in private gardens or on private property

Property owners are responsible for maintaining trees and vegetation on their land and ensuring they are safe.

Please report overgrown trees or vegetation here: https://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/council-services/travel-and-highways/report-road-or-path-issue/overgrown-or-fallen-tree-and-shrubbery

If you’ve read my previous article on Local Government Reorganisation in Worcestershire, you’ll know I believe the final decision is much closer than many people think.

For months, the debate around Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) in Worcestershire has focused on two competing visions.
