This is a scheme set up for the public to let us know about locations where they're concerned about speeding. We'll assess the location and if we think it's a good and safe place for monitoring to happen, trained members of the community will visit the location to record the details of offending vehicles. 

What's captured: speed registration number vehicle colour and make Anyone caught speeding will be sent a letter from us informing them of their offence. We also monitor the data so we can take action against repeat offenders or those severely breaking the speed limit. 

Join the scheme:  If you'd like to join a Community Speed Watch group near you, or want to know more about the scheme: We need some volunteers to start this. The police have identified 2 locations where we can stand and we will be guided by another gentleman who operates in Brayton.
