Hello Resident

I would like to set up Community Speed Watches within the Erdington area. 

West Midlands Police Community Speed watch scheme will involve trained volunteers from the community monitoring the speeds of vehicles with approved speed detection devices. 

Where vehicle speeds are found to be inappropriate, the police will either; stop the motorist and deliver a road side intervention with the support of collaborative partners, or a notice will be sent to the drivers by the police with the aim of encouraging them to reduce their speed when driving in the future. 

The purpose is to reduce harm and the fear of harm, while improving overall road user behaviour on the West Midlands road network. 

West Midlands Police will support volunteers in their initiatives and ensure that they receive the relevant training.  

If you would like to support your community by volunteering and setting up a community speed watch please get in touch, please email erdington@westmidlands.police.uk 

Kind Regards
