Community Speed Watch – Could You Help Keep Our Roads Safer?

Our Community Speed Watch (CSW) Area Organiser has recently received a welcome increase in applications from several local parishes. This is fantastic progress for improving road safety across our communities.

However, a number of villages still have no active CSW volunteers. A regular CSW presence has been shown to reduce vehicle speeds, encourage safer driving, and support the wellbeing of residents.

“A visible Speed Watch team genuinely slows drivers down – your involvement can make a real difference.”

If you’re interested in volunteering or would like to learn more about how CSW works, you can find full details and register here:

How Community Speed Watch Works

  • When CSW volunteers record a speeding vehicle, the registered keeper receives a written advisory notice.
  • Should the same vehicle be recorded three times, a PCSO or Police Constable will make a follow‑up visit to discuss the issue directly.
  • A record of this visit is then kept on file.

Volunteers receive full training, and even a small amount of time can make a big difference to road safety in your area.
