Community Speedwatch

Community Speedwatch is a national initiative where, in partnership with the police, members of communities use detection devices to monitor local vehicle speeds. The volunteers report drivers exceeding the speed limit to the police with the aim of educating drivers to slow down. We now have a new officer in charge of our local area and are once again recruiting to build up a team to deliver this volunteer service. If you would like to get involved please email the Clerk on clark@cadneycumhowsham.org.uk.
