Community Speedwatch

Community Speedwatch (CSW) is a national initiative where active members of local communities join with the support of the Police to monitor speeds of vehicles using speed detection devices. Vehicles exceeding the speed limit are referred to the Police with the aim of educating drivers to reduce their speeds. In cases where education is blatantly ignored and evidence of repeat or excessive offences is collated (even across county borders), enforcement and prosecution follow.

Writtle is lucky enough to have a group of volunteers who have been out on the road monitoring the traffic every week since September last year.

If you are interested in joining the group, please contact the parish office for further details. Appropriate training will be organised.
