Community SpeedWatch |
|
Community SpeedWatch (“CSW”) is a traffic-monitoring scheme that is co-ordinated by the police but managed and run by volunteers in the community. With the support of the Parish Council, over twenty villagers are actively participating in the CSW scheme. This involves volunteers recording the speeds of vehicles travelling through the village with a speed gun. The registration number of any vehicle that is speeding is recorded and the records are sent to the Police. The Police send out letters to the motorist in question and if three letters are received by the same person the Police target that motorist.
| All volunteers signed up to CSW are officially trained. A session of monitoring lasts about an hour, although the team plans to run regular sessions from dawn to dusk from time to time. Further details of the Essex-wide CSW are available at (you will require the Adobe pdf reader) : http://tinyurl.com/9823d5 |
