Local Priorities - Speeding Traffic Update - Community Speed Watch Event held in Charlesworth (28/04/26)

Glossop SNT - Community Speed Watch Event in Charlesworth today.

Glossop SNT (PCSO Buller) and 2 volunteers from the Hadfield Community Speed Watch Team completed an event on the A624 Marple Road, Charlesworth this morning, Tuesday April 28th  - between 11.00 am and 12.00 pm. The speed limit on this road is 30 mph.

During the event the number of vehicles who went by the team in the hour the event took place was 346, of those only 1 was recorded driving above 35 mph. the actual speed was recorded at 42 mph.

Speeding has been highlighted by residents in the Charlesworth area as one of their Policing Priorities - This location has been identified as a high-risk road through speeding. 

Speeding might be an issue that you don’t consider serious, however it is one of the fatal four. The fatal four are the four offences which contribute to serious collisions. The other fatal four offences are drink or drug driving, using a mobile device whilst driving or not wearing a seat belt. Policing isn’t just about tickets, it’s also about education and community involvement, and these speed sites encompass the two.  

If you think we should be concentrating on other areas of crime and not speeding, please fill in our Derbyshire Community Voice survey so we can find more ways to support you. You can fill it out online here www.derbyshirealert.co.uk 

Remember your voice can help to shape your community. We'd like to take the opportunity to thank residents of the Charlesworth community for their help in identifying their concerns re speeding in their area and for their support in promoting road safety.

Also thank you and well done from Glossop SNT to the 2 volunteers who took part in the event today.
