Are you worried about speeding vehicles in your area?

Do you wish to do something about it?

Do you have a couple of hours that you could spare to become involved?

The Parish Council has the equipment for residents to run a Speed Watch Campaign but needs volunteers to use speed indication equipment to log registrations of vehicles speeding through the parish.

A few volunteers have been trained but for this to be successful and for it to appear in your area more volunteers are needed. The Parish Council will ensure that the equipment is taken to the approved sites and the Police are notified of the date and place of speed watch. All the Parish Council asks is for volunteers to be there to observe and help with the recording process.

Training will be given and anyone interested should contact the parish office for further information.
