Former Liberal Democrat Councillor for Knaphill Learn more

On Saturday 12th December I met up with another local Community Speed Watch volunteer to carryout a Speed Watch in Bagshot Road. Pleasingly as soon as we set up our signs cars noticeably slowed down along a busy stretch of road. Sadly we still found 10 cars to be speeding over an hour long stretch with the fasted travelling at 44 mph in a 30 mph zone. As usual all 10 speeding cars will receive a warning letter from Surrey Police and face the possibility of being added to a Surrey Police database of possible speeders if they have already been caught by a Community Speed Watch twice before.This is only the second time we have carried out a Community Speed Watch on the Bagshot Road and follows soon after a Surrey Police initiative to raise awareness of speeding traffic to read more about this see http://www.surrey.police.uk/neighbourhood/neighbourhood.asp?area=WKNB
I must thank all the Community Speed Watch volunteers in Knaphill, as without them it would be impossible to get out as often as we do. We will be there again in January and hope to find fewer speeding cars next time.
