COMMUNITY SPEEDWATCH - FEBRUARY

Last Thursday, I joined local volunteers to carry out a speedwatch session at the junction of Ryleys Lane and Chorley Hall Lane. Over the course of an hour, we recorded a total of 27 vehicles exceeding the speed limit, of which seventeen were travelling between 30 - 39 mph and a further ten vehicles were travelling at over 40mph. The maximum recorded speed was 45 mph, whilst the average speed of the recorded vehicles was 38.81 mph. On this occasion, we were also joined by officers from Cheshire Police, who were checking for drivers using the mobile phones. Our next session will be on Thursday 15th March and as always, we would welcome more volunteers - the more volunteers we have, the more sessions we will be able to do and the safer our roads will be.
