🚨 Charvil Speedwatch is up and running – and needs more volunteers!
In the first two sessions, 54 vehicles have been reported to Thames Valley Police for significantly exceeding the speed limit — that's one every 4 minutes 25 seconds on average 😟
📊 Reports to Thames Valley Police so far:
🔴 39 vehicles recorded at 36–39 mph
🔴 14 vehicles recorded at 40–45 mph
🔴 1 vehicle recorded at 51 mph
⚠️ These drivers will at minimum receive a letter from TVP. Repeat offenders will receive a visit from local police, irrespective of where they live or are flagged by Speedwatch teams across the country. Focused enforcement and criminal prosecution can follow, based on the evidence collated.
🙋 There are currently 6 volunteers. To run more regular sessions and make a sustained impact, we need more people to get involved.
