On Thursday 27th August I joined our local Community Speedwatch volunteers on Ryleys Lane - this was the first session the group have been able to carry out since the pandemic began; however, we decided that it would be appropriate for the group to re-start, provided social distancing guidelines could be strictly followed.
As it turned out, we had to cut the session short due to heavy rain; however, between 3.00 - 3.45pm we recorded a total of 36 vehicles exceeding the speed threshold at this location. Of those vehicles recorded, 24 were speeding at or below 39mph and a further 12 were travelling faster than 40mph, with a top speed of 47mph.
The figures are particularly concerning as Ryleys Lane is of course a school safety zone. I am continuing to work with Cheshire East Highways with a view to introducing a permanent 20mph zone with supporting traffic calming infrastructure in this area of the village. Further details will follow over the course of the next few weeks.
