Winterley Community Speedwatch Scheme

Posted on by

A community speedwatch scheme is where trained members of the public can help local police to control traffic speeding

The teams record vehicle speeds which are then passed to the police who can issue warnings and may take further action if felt necessary. They provide an effective method of controlling speed and reducing accidents

There have been a large number of reports relating to speeding in Winterley which have caused concern to local residents in that area

Therefore, the Parish Council is putting out a call to residents to ask if they would be willing to volunteer to be part of a Winterley Speedwatch Team. Due to COVID-19 training cannot take place at present however we would like to collate a list of volunteers who can attend the training when restrictions allow

If you would like to be part of the scheme, please email the Clerk at haslingtonparishcouncil@gmail.com
