Call for Speedwatch Volunteers

The Parish Council would like to encourage volunteers to come forward to help operate a  Speedwatch service. 

This involves occasional operation by the roadside of an electronic piece of kit to note the speeds being clocked up by vehicles on our roads.

The object is to remind drivers that there are speed limits and that they should be obeying them although there is an escalation process above the volunteer level which takes a stronger line with serious and/or repeat offenders.

Speedwatch volunteers operate in pairs and full training is given by the Police. Some villages arrange swaps so that you don’t end up recording the speeds of your immediate neighbours.

If you think this might be for you please contact Sue Pullen on 01206 735 367 or [email protected] for further information.
