    Charney Bassett Parish Council Report on the Community Speedwatch Initiative

    CHARNEY BASSETT PARISH COUNCIL REPORT ON THE COMMUNITY SPEEDWATCH INITIATIVE 1. Background The Community SpeedWatch initiative focusses on education rather than enforcement and - uses trained volunteers at approved roadside sites with 30 mph limits, - monitors vehicle speed via a portable speed indication device. The equipment is deemed to be less confrontational than a speed gun. - ensures vehicles travelling at or above specified speed thresholds are reported to the police. - results in police advisory letters being sent to registered keepers of speeding vehicles. - enables the police to target enforcement activities at identified speeding hotspots. This report is submitted on behalf of village volunteers and covers the first full year of operations in Charney Bassett (plus a brief earlier training period) 2. Management The initiative is managed by the Faringdon East Neighbourhood Action Group which is responsible for two way liaison on police and community safety issues in an area covering Kingston Bagpuize with Southmoor, Stanford in the Vale, The Hanneys and the surrounding villages) . The equipment was funded by contributions from eight participating villages. Charney Bassett contributed £300. The account holder is Stanford in the Vale Parish Council. The participating villages are Kingston Bagpuize with Southmoor, Stanford in the Vale, Littleworth, Longworth, Shellingford, West Hanney, Easrt Hanney and Charney Bassett. Overall coordination is undertaken by Shellingford Each village has its own coordinator and is responsible for insuring volunteers. 3. SpeedWatch in Charney Baassett There are 11 trained volunteers. Seven venues have been approved for SpeedWatch activities 35 operational sessions have been undertaken (normally one hour) 15 sessions have been cancelled (due to weather or unavailability of equipment) 50 vehicles have been found to be travelling at 34mph or more.
