A resumption of activities has now occurred due to the recruitment of new volunteers who have successfully undergone their training. I can report that we restarted this October and found that between 4-8% of all traffic that passed through the village at all our sessions travelled at speeds in excess of 30m.p.h.

We continue to work closely with the groups at Porton, Allington and Firsdown. Over the coming year the Community Speed Watch volunteers will be increasingly supported by the Community Policing Teams (CPTs), supported by the Special Constabulary Roads Policing Unit.

We still share the speed camera with Porton and Firsdown CSW teams and exchange roughly every fortnight. Depending on the weather and numbers of team members available, we try to cover all areas of the village that have been approved, at different times of the day. Having an increased number of volunteers provides us with the ability to maximise our activities when we have the camera. If you are prepared to donate a few hours every six weeks please contact the Clerk of the Winterbourne Parish Council, or the current Winterbourne Speed Watch Team Coordinator on 07311 333 252.
