Your Speedwatch scheme are looking for volunteers 🚦 Community Speedwatch – Making Roads Safer

Hello Resident

We are currently looking to recruit volunteers in your area to assist and support our colleages in road safety. Community speedwatch is a volunteer-led initiative focused on reducing speeding and improving safety.

What is Speedwatch?
👥 Local volunteers, trained by Kent Police, monitor speeds at approved sites (20, 30, or 40 mph zones) using certified equipment.
📋 Details of speeding vehicles are securely logged for 12 months. Repeat or excessive offenders may receive advisory letters—and in some cases, personal visits from officers.

Important:
Speedwatch is educational, not enforcement. No fines or penalty points are issued directly, but the data helps target police action and inform road safety improvements.

✅ Does it work?
Yes! Over 90% of drivers recorded speeding once are not seen again within 12 months, and overall speeding reduces in communities over time.

📍 Want to help?
If you can spare an hour a week, join us!
