  • 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.

  • Direct Action Self-Help Groups in Uk Flood Risk Management
    DIRECT ACTION SELF-HELP GROUPS IN UK FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT JONATHAN SIMM MEng, BSc(Eng) CEng FICE Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy DECEMBER 2015 2 Abstract Given an emerging social turn in Flood and Coastal Risk Management (FCRM) towards wider involvement of local communities, this thesis critically evaluates the extent to which Direct Action Self-Help (DASH) groups are, or can be, viable and an efficacious, efficient and effective means of managing and monitoring FCRM assets (and to determine what makes them so). Within this overall aim, the nature and methods of assessment of the human dimensions of FCRM assets is also addressed. The research methods employed include a combination of semi-structured interviews and other ethnographic tools along with detailed case studies. Analytical tools employed include nVIVO textual analysis of interview transcriptions and engineering and economic analyses of the case study sites. Survey work is used to test the assessment of human dimensions on a semantic differential scale. The emergence of DASH groups to organise work on FCRM is found to be motivated by the need to deal with increasing flood risk in the face of reduced public funding, alongside sense of stewardship and community solidarity. These groups have tended to by catalysed by a few motivated individuals and without a clearly designed structure. There is very limited literature about DASH activity in FCRM. Examination of contextual literature has also enabled a previously unavailable conceptual framework to be developed of the different dimensions, contextual aspects and motivations for DASH activity and its support by government, which was further tested by case studies of river conveyance and sea wall management by DASH groups.
