On Thursday afternoon, I joined local residents and volunteers on Congleton Road (close to the junction with Whitebarn Road) to carry out another community speedwatch session. On this occasion, we were also joined by our new PCSO, Anna Jenkinson. At our previous session at this location, on Thursday 5th April, we recorded a speeding vehicle every 97 seconds; however, on this occasion we recorded only 12 vehicles exceeding the speed limit, which suggests that our campaign to raise awareness may be starting to have some impact. The results in detail were:
- 8 vehicles travelling at 30+mph, with a highest recorded speed of 38mph
- 3 vehicles travelling at 40+mph, with a highest recorded speed of 47mph
- 1 vehicle travelling at 50+mph, with a highest recorded speed of 51mph
- average speed of all recorded vehicles was 41mph
Our next sessions will be on Thursday 10th May at 11am and Thursday 24th May at 7am!
