Community Speedwatch

Kings Bromley Community Speedwatch Volunteers were out on the A515 Yoxall Road today between 10.15am and 10.45am, they were joined by PCSO Maggie Griffiths.

During this time a total of 232 vehicles went through the location, 3 of which were caught speeding with a recorded 42mph.

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
