COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS RECORD FALL IN SPEEDING MOTORISTS

 

On Thursday 10th September, I joined local residents and volunteers from our Community Speedwatch Team. On this occasion we stationed ourselves on Brook Lane (on the approach to the village and the school safety zone around Alderley Edge School for Girls).

Fortunately we had one of our quietest sessions on record at this location, with only 16 vehicles found to be exceeding the speed threshold over the course of an hour. This is a marked reduction in the number we have previously recorded on Brook Lane and follows a number of targeted interventions by Cheshire Police.

The average speed of all recorded vehicles was 38.5 mph. We are always keen to welcome new volunteers to our team, as the more volunteers we have the more sessions we will be able to run. If you can spare an hour a month to help out, please drop me an email or leave a message below with your details.
