Kings Bromley Community Speedwatch

PCSO Maggie Griffiths joined Kings Bromley Community Speedwatch Volunteers on Wednesday 4th June between 10.30am – 11.00am on the A513 Alrewas Road. 153 vehicles drove through the location between these times, of which 4 Were recorded in excess of the 40mph speed limit. Top speed recorded was 50mph.

Community Speedwatch (CSW) is a national initiative where, in partnership with the police, members of communities use detection devices to monitor local vehicle speeds.

The volunteers report drivers exceeding the speed limit to the police with the aim of educating drivers to slow down.

If the data proves a driver is ignoring repeated warnings police can prosecute them. The aim is to:

·  reduce death and injury on the roads

·  improve the quality of life for local communities

·  reduce the speed of vehicles to the speed limit

·  increase public awareness of inappropriate speed
