Halesowen North Councillor Stuart Henley believes the number of incidents are not being reported correctly, which is creating an untrue perception whilst residents live in fear.

The petition calls on West Midlands Police and Dudley Council to commit more resources to the problem.

Councillor Henley said: "I've been contacted by numerous concerned residents regarding the alarming rise in speeding and reckless driving on our streets in Halesowen. This is a serious issue that puts lives at risk, and we need immediate action. I've launched a petition to push for stronger measures from both the police and the council.
