Community speed watch can reduce speed to safer levels |
I am working with Surrey Police to organise a series of community speed watches. Community speed watches involve residents forming a community speed watch team (usually six people), attending a police training session with local police officers at the local police station. Equipment (including a special camera) is then lent by the local police to the community speed watch team.
The community speed watch team monitors the speed of traffic down a road agreed with the police at a place along the road, also previously agreed. This usually occurs on one day with team members monitoring speed at a time suitable to them. Team members work in groups no smaller than two. Any motorists caught speeding are then issued with a letter notifying them they have been caught speeding, warning them that the police have been informed. Drivers frequently caught speeding will be targeted by the police. If you would like to be involved in a community speed watch in or near your road, please contact me on 725409 or email cllrolly.wells@woking.gov.uk
