A West Mercia Police spokesperson wrote on social media: "Due to concerns from the community of speeding on Midland Road, Worcester, PC Harvey conducted a speeding operation today."

Drivers who are stopped by the police could be given a verbal warning, given or sent a fixed penalty notice or ordered to go to court.

We reported last September police carried out a similar operation - on that occasion focusing on school pick-up times.
