SPEEDWATCH RESULTS - 7TH JUNE

On Thursday I joined local Community Speedwatch volunteers on Congleton Road, between 10.30 and 11.30am. On this occasion we recorded 31 vehicles over the space of an hour, which is fewer than on the previous occasion at this location, although still too many. The results in detail were:

- 18 vehicles speeding between 36-39 mph
- 12 vehicles speeding between 40-49 mph
- 1 vehcile speeding at 50 mph

The speed limit in this location is 30 mph and we will use the data as part of our evidence base to support traffic calming measures in Alderley Edge. If anyone is able to volunteer an hour a month of their time to help us run more sessions, please leave your contact details below (I will not publish your details, but will respond privately via email).

I would like to take this opportunity to highlight that Community Speedwatch is a nationwide initiative, backed by the police. Whilst offending motorists receive a letter, or a police visit (for a second or subsequent offence), the team are there primarily to raise awareness of speed as an issue.
