Do you have concerns with speeding vehicles in Uttoxeter?
Staffordshire Police is looking for volunteers to be trained as part of the Community Speed Watch in order to assist Staffordshire Police with drivers who are breaking the speed limit.
Full safety training will be given to each person who volunteers, if you would like express interest, please contact PCSO Craig Carroll on craig.carroll@staffordshire.pnn.police.uk
Community Speed Watch aims:
•To help local people address speeding problems in their own area
•Increase driver and public awareness of the dangers of speeding
•Improve community safety
Community Speed Watch schemes are resourced by trained volunteers from the community through a Community Co-ordinator.
Speed Watch teams use hand held radar equipment at pre-identified locations to check vehicle speeds. Registration numbers and makes of vehicles exceeding the local speed limit are recorded. These details are then collated and passed to the central co-ordinator, where they are then processed and letters are issued.
Drivers found to be speeding are issued with an advisory warning letter requesting that they slow down and observe the speed limit.
