King's Somborne Speedwatch Volunteers Needed

More volunteers are needed to join the local residents who try to ensure drivers passing through our village observe the speed limits.

The Parish Council have just bought a new easy to use "radar kit" for the team to check the speeds of vehicles. Those speeding cars/vans or trucks will be reported to Hampshire Police who then process the matter further. The Police also give basic familiarisation for new volunteers of how Speedwatch operates.

Now the weather is improving and daylight is longer local residents will be out every week somewhere in the village, morning/lunchtime or evening, to monitor traffic. The rota requires volunteers to be available for just an hour fortnight at the most, and we go out in groups of 3 or 4.
