Uppingham

Road Safety:
Community feedback has confirmed that Road Safety—particularly speeding—continues to be a priority for the people of Uppingham as we move into the third quarter of 2026.

We will maintain a frequent and highly visible policing presence in affected areas as part of our ongoing local road safety operation. This includes marked vehicle patrols, routine monitoring, and the regular deployment of the speed laser device. Offenders will be dealt with robustly where appropriate.

We will continue working closely with partner agencies, including the Road Safety Partnership mobile speed camera van team, to identify areas of concern and request targeted deployments.

Enforcement activity and results will continue to be shared with the community through the Neighbourhood Link messaging service: www.neighbourhoodlink.co.uk

During August, high-visibility patrols were conducted in the Uppingham area. A number of vehicles were stopped and checked, with positive engagement and enforcement activity undertaken where appropriate. Several matters were identified and enquiries commenced, with investigations remaining ongoing. Partner agency engagement has continued to support problem-solving and address issues within identified hotspot locations. PCSO Wylie has conducted speed monitoring in Uppingham.

Enforcement activity and updates were shared with residents through Neighbourhood Link, highlighting the team’s continued efforts to improve adherence to 30mph limits.

The results from the mobile speed camera van visits to all locations in Rutland can be viewed at www.speedorsafety.com

Drugs:
Through continued consultation with the community, the selling and use of drugs remains a key priority for the people of Uppingham as we move into the third quarter of 2026.

We will continue to develop and strengthen our intelligence picture around individuals involved in drug‑related crime. This will enable us to deploy our resources effectively in the right areas and at the right times, with the aim of deterring activity, disrupting criminal networks, and bringing offenders to justice. We will also maintain close working relationships with partner agencies and the community to ensure information is shared promptly and action is taken swiftly.

During August, we have actively patrolled the Uppingham town centre and surrounding areas to address concerns relating to drug use and drug dealing. Through proactive patrol activity and engagement with members of the public, a number of individuals have been identified and dealt with appropriately. Intelligence has continued to be gathered and developed to improve our understanding of those involved in drug-related offending, enabling us to target our resources effectively. Investigations into suspected offences remain ongoing, with the aim of disrupting criminal activity, deterring offending, and bringing offenders to justice.
