Tealby Parish Council Community Speed Watch is a scheme to allow trained volunteers to address speed concerns in our village.

This is achieved by:

1. Three trained volunteers at each session undertaking high-visibility roadside monitoring to educate speeding drivers, with a view to improving driver behaviour.

2. Reporting to the Police the details of speeding vehicles in specific areas where speed is of concern. These speed monitoring reports enable the police to;

• Send advisory letters to the registered owners advising them that the speed at which their vehicle was travelling was in excess of the speed limit.

• Use the data gathered to inform Police and others on the allocation of resources and general road safety issues and targeted enforcement activity.

3. Delivering locally based feedback and problem-solving schemes where speeding is of specific concern to the Community, operated by trained volunteers and supported by the Police.

4. Speed Watch is not enforcement. It's about raising awareness of speeding through our village and educating drivers.

So, if you are over 18 and would like to volunteer, please send us your details via email to: tpccsw@gmail.com
