Earlier today I joined local residents and volunteers on Ryleys Lane to carry out our monthly Community Speedwatch session. On this occasion, we were also joined by our PCSO, Anna Jenkinson. Stationed near to the junction of Chorley Hall Lane, we were able to record vehicles travelling in three directions and the results were as follows:- total number of vehicles speeding (above threshold) 23
- 16 of which were travelling at under 40mph
- 7 of which were travelling at 40mph or above
- the average speed was 39mph and the top speed 47mph
As this was our final session of 2018, I would like to thank everyone who has helped out this year and make an appeal to any other local residents who may be concerned about speeding traffic to please join our group. It takes four volunteers to run a session: one to hold the gun and record the speed, one to record the registration number, one to record the vehicle make & model and one to write everything down and pass the forms over to the police. The more volunteers we have, the more sessions we will be able to run and the safer our roads will be. On behalf of the team, may I wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
