Nottinghamshire Police are looking at setting up and facilitating Community Speed Watch (CSW) schemes across communities in Broxtowe North.
Community Speed Watch is a scheme which would allow trained volunteers to address speeding concerns in their communities, with a view to raising awareness and altering driver behaviour.
Community Speed Watch will not be considered as enforcement. Volunteers report details of speeding vehicles to the Police who will in turn send out advisory letters to the registered keepers of vehicles recorded over the threshold speed limit.
Nottinghamshire Police will provide Employers Liability and Public Liability Insurance for the volunteers taking part.
Each scheme requires a minimum of three volunteers who must be aged 18 years or over. The volunteers would identify areas/streets of concern which would be risk assessed by Nottinghamshire Police and areas/streets would be risk assessed by Nottinghamshire Police. Volunteers should be prepared to commit to at least one hour per week to carry out the speed monitoring.
