July 2026 update.

The Speedwatch team took a break during August but instead the Police paid two visits, the usual camera van at St Lawrence’s and the other on foot opposite the Village Hall.

Incidents of note from our September sessions were:-

Monday afternoon: 7 of the 10 vehicles logged were exceeding 40 mph.

Tuesday morning: A Landrover Defender (with personalised plates) recorded at 38mph having already driven through the village!

Wednesday morning: 5 of the 12 vehicles were exceeding 40mph.

Friday morning: a vehicle speeding at 50 mph was logged at 8.09hrs, and a delivery driver was clocked at 40mph and then proceeded to overtake another vehicle travelling through the village.

So we seem to have had an increase in vehicles doing over 40mph, with some drivers showing no intention of slowing down even when they can clearly see us in our high viz jackets.

1654 vehicle speeds checked; 65 were in excess of the 30 mph speed limit, and 30 of those were travelling at more than 40 mpn
