Speedwatch Comes To Villages
October 24, 2007 8:53 AM
Residents of Newport, Quendon, Rickling and Widdington will soon be able to participate in Essex Police Force's Community Speedwatch scheme.
Cllr Peter Wilcock together with the Parish Councils have agreed with Essex Police to start Community Speedwatch shortly in Newport, Quendon, Rickling and Widdington.
Community Speedwatch involves the Police training volunteers to monitor the speed of vehicles through the villages, and report any vehicles who exceed the police guidelines to the police who will then write to the driver. The volunteers have no power to prosecute the drivers, but if the same driver repeatedly breaks the limits, then the police will attend and try to catch the vehicle and prosecute the driver.
If any more volunteers wish to put their name forward, they can contact Cllr Peter Wilcock who is co-ordinating the training with the Police (Tel. 01279 850198).
