Village Speeding
Residents have raised concerns to the Parish Council, and via social media groups, their observation of vehicles speeding in the villages. In response, and sharing the concerns, Cllr Serino is initiating the Community Speedwatch scheme in this area.
Community Speedwatch is a national initiative where proactive members of local communities join with the support and supervision of their local police to record details of speeding vehicles using approved detection devices.
Registered keepers of vehicles exceeding the speed limit are contacted – initially with a letter explaining the potential risks and consequences of their dangerous behaviour. Repeat offenders will receive a visit from the local police, irrespective of where they live. Beyond these friendly gestures, focused enforcement and criminal prosecution follow based on the collated evidence.
We’re looking for volunteers to work along side Cllr Serino to introduce the scheme to the area and tackle the problem.
