SPEEDWATCH RESULTS - CONGLETON ROAD

On Thursday 5th April, I joined local volunteers from the Community Speedwatch team. On this occasion we timed our session between 11am - 12noon at the junction of Congleton Road and Whitebarn Road. This was a particularly busy session and in total we recorded 37 vehicles exceeding the speed threshold (the speed limit in this location is 30mph), which equates to one speeding vehicle every 97 seconds! The results were:

- speeding but below 39 mph (22 vehicles)
- speeding between 40-49 mph (13 vehicles)
- speeding at 50 mph or higher (2 vehicles)
- average speed of all recorded vehicles (39.57 mph)
- including 3 Toyotas, 3 Audis & 1 BMW

Our next session will be held on Thursday 19th April at 11am, when our new PCSO (Anna Jenkinson) will be joining us. If any members of the local community are available or would like to join the team and help out on another occasion, please do let me know. At our Parish Council meeting on Monday evening, we will be considering a resolution to purchase a second speed radar gun, which will enable us to cover more sessions in future.
