SPECIAL police constables will be tackling speeding motorists on Saturday.

Officers will be out and about in rural parts of Redditch with the aim of educating drivers about speed awareness and road safety.

They will also be encouraging residents to become Specials as well as handing out balloons and chocolates as part of the Community Service Volunteers' Make a Difference Day.

A spokesman for the Specials, Chris Cookson, said the day was all about education and they wanted to avoid handing out tickets if possible.
