The Felsted Speedwatch Group has been working hard to make the roads in our parish safer for us all.

Throughout the summer period they carried out an average of 2 speedwatch sessions a week. In July they recorded 77 speeding motorists and in August there were 90.

In August 8 cars were recorded at more than 10mph over the limit, with one at 17mph over the limit.

The ideal result of course is that no one speeds and so the team has a quiet hour with no speed recordings taken. However, until that point we are grateful for the time they give to the village to help make it safer for us all.

If you are interested in joining the speedwatch team and have perhaps just an hour a week to help out, then please contact the Parish Clerk for more information.
