🚗 Speedwatch August update
Our Speedwatch team has grown, with four new volunteers joining the team. A big thank you to everyone who has given their time so far.
We’ve now run seven sessions across Charvil. At the most recent A4 session, 41 speeding violations were recorded, including 16 vehicles travelling at 50mph or above. We’ll be continuing to run sessions at all three locations, while working towards getting a second Old Bath Road location approved.
Could you spare a little time to join us? We’re looking for more volunteers to help us run more Speedwatch sessions across Charvil. Speedwatch is supported by Thames Valley Police and is a practical way to help tackle speeding and encourage safer driving locally. If you’re interested, please message us.
