Keeping Roads Safe Near Schools

The Community Speed Watch is operated by volunteers dedicated to keeping roads safe for both drivers and pedestrians. The area is frequently used by children walking to school or catching buses to college, making speed awareness particularly important.

Police say that residents often raise concerns about speeding vehicles at local surgeries and to the Town Council, highlighting the ongoing need for the Speed Watch in the area.
