Community Speed Watch is a scheme to help people reduce speeding traffic through their community. The scheme enables volunteers to work within their community to raise awareness of the dangers of speeding and to help control the problem locally.

Community Speed Watch incorporates direct action using radar speed guns and vehicle activated signs, all under the supervision of the police. The use of the radar devices by volunteers will not lead to prosecution - drivers simply get a warning letter from the police.

This scheme is already operating successfully elsewhere in the country. It’s not about trapping motorists; its aim is to make road users aware of their speed.

If you would like to make West Hill a safer place by becoming involved, or would just like more information, please contact Dick Beardsall on 01404 815638.
