COMMUNITY SPEEDWATCH GROUP RESTARTS

On Thursday 8th April I was pleased to join Parish Cllrs Bev Chapman, Karen Robinson and local volunteers from our Community Speedwatch Group. This was the first time we have been able to meet since October and it was good to be together again (socially distanced, of course). 

For our first session of 2021 we were positioned at the top of Congleton Road, just short of the junction with Whitebarn Road. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the pandemic, this was one of our quieter sessions and we recorded just 12 vehicles exceeding the speed threshold. The full results were as follows:

10 vehicles speeding but travelling under 40mph

2 vehicles speeding and travelling over 40mph

The average speed of all vehicles was 37.7mph

We will be carrying out our next session in the near future. For the time being, in line with government regulations, we are limited to just six volunteers. As we hopefully continue to follow the roadmap out of the pandemic, we will be purchasing a second speed gun which will enable us to operate with more volunteers split across two groups.
