Are you are fed up with speeding traffic through our village would you like to join Community Speedwatch?
Community Speedwatch is a scheme to allow trained volunteers to address speed concerns in their communities.
This is achieved by:
1.Undertaking high-visibility roadside operations to educate speeding drivers.
2.Reporting to the Police the details of speeding vehicles in specific areas where speed is of concern.
These speed monitoring reports enable the police to
a. Send advisory letters to the registered owners to confirm to them the speed at which their
vehicle was traveling and that the speed was in excess of the speed limit.
b. Use the data gathered to inform Police and others on the allocation of resources and general
road safety issues.
3.Delivering locally based feedback and problem-solving schemes where speeding is of specific
concern to the Community, operated by trained volunteers and supported by the Police.
4.Speedwatch is not enforcement: it is about raising awareness of speeding within communities and educating drivers.
If you are over 18 and would like to volunteer for Community Speedwatch training please contact the Clerk to register your interest email – clerk@wentworth-pc.gov.uk
