2. Please provide a breakdown of how these offences were detected (i.e. via fixed speed camera, mobile speed camera, police officer with radar gun etc).
3. Please provide a breakdown of how these offences were resolved (i.e. how many were cancelled, how many resulted in awareness courses, fines/penalty points, court action etc).

Clarification sought:
We are able to provide data regarding the number of individuals stopped by an officer and issued with a Traffic Offence Report for speeding offences. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide statistics regarding the number of individuals caught speeding by a fixed speed camera or by a mobile speed camera device. This information is held by the Safety Camera Partnership in Pontypridd
I note that you wish to know how many cases were cancelled. we are only able to provide data regarding the number of cases where the case was NFA’d by our decision makers.
Can you please advise if you are happy to accept the information that we can provide?
