Community Speed Watch is an educational scheme designed to help people reduce speeding traffic though their community.

It enables volunteers to work within their community to raise awareness of the dangers of speeding and to help control the problem locally.

Offending vehicles’ details are recorded and passed on to police.

The owner of the vehicle is sent a letter about the offence to warn them to be more aware of their speed in the future.
