Councillors Mark Durham and Michael Pearlman are calling for 20 miles per hour limits on the High Street and police enforcement
More than 50 drivers have been caught breaking the law around Maldon and Heybridge – just seven days after a major police crackdown on “boy racers”.
Prosecution notices were sent to 71 motorists after Essex Police carried out an operation in Maldon town centre on August 7.
Despite a wave of publicity, a further 51 motorists will receive letters after a second crackdown last Friday, mainly for speeding.
Mark Durham, deputy leader of Maldon District Council, said the “boy racers” might have assumed the police activity had been a one-off.
