COMMUNITY SPEEDWATCH

Community Speed Watch aims to encourage safer driving, to reduce accidents, and to eliminate deaths – Vision Zero.

The Liskeard CSW Group operates at:

East Taphouse, Dobwalls, Doublebois, Liskeard (3), St Ive (2), Pensilva (3), Fore Down (2), Widegates, and Upton Cross.

Other groups operate throughout the county / country – to increase the frequency of observations, and to cover additional locations, a requirement exists for more team members – there could be a site within walking distance.

Full details of how Community Speed Watch operates can be found at:

Registration is simple, with online theory training, and following successful completion, members are contacted, to take part in practical training (speed monitoring), including equipment use.

Each observation (which only takes place in dry weather conditions) lasts for one hour, with a full team briefing / debriefing, and agreement reached on next activity date and time. Individuals can choose frequency of involvement, which ideally would be at least six times per year.

Teams are made up of a minimum of two members (preferably three, and no more than four).

This is an opportunity for individuals to contribute to the safety of their community.
