Former Liberal Democrat Councillor for Knaphill Learn more

Saturday 16th August, I took part in my first Knaphill community speed watch. Along with two other volunteers from our team of six, we set up along Redding Way with two warning signs spaced clearly ahead of each side of the area where we had the speed camera. Wearing bright florescent jackets we recorded the number plates of all cars speeding over a certain limit. These have now been sent to Surrey Police for processing. Owners of cars travelling too fast will receive a warning or final warning letter depending on past records.
What was most notable was how dramatically drivers reduced their speed as they went past, with many slowing to below 24 mph. We had a few drivers sneer at us, but far more drivers waving in support of the need to keep the speed down in the area. Hopefully word will get out
that, at any time we could be out in Knaphill with our speed camera and drivers will take more care.
