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 […]
