Are speeders driving you nuts?

Community Speedwatch in action

... then why not get involved in cutting this scourge down. A Community Speedwatch foray near the Brewery yesterday morning captured details of 4 excessive speeders in the space of 50 minutes, all of which were passed to Essex Police, earlier in the month even more were caught on the A1124.

The more volunteers we have to mount these random speedchecks the more uncertainty we can put into the minds of frequent offenders who clearly have no qualms in breaking the speed limits on a regular basis.  If you would like to join those already helping to make our roads safer then please contact Anthony Robin (anthony_robin@hotmail.com) and he will arrange training for you.  If you would like to find out more about it first then please visit http://www.drivingcasualtiesdown.org/pages/enforcement/community-speedwatch/

Speeders beware...

Liz Harrington, Parish Councillor and Community Speedwatch Coordinator, is pleased to report that the Community Speedwatch team have run a good number of sessions and, as a result of their reports, the police have been out to monitor and issue tickets.

More volunteers are always welcome though and, if you are interested, you would first attend an initial training session.  Once trained you would then join the team, helping to make it plain to all that we will not tolerate speeding vehicles in the village, making it a safer place for all.  The emphasis is firmly on educating drivers to slow down. Anyone interested in joining, please contact Liz directly - her contact details are on our website here.
