Plympton Police guage interest in Speed Watch

Plympton Police are seeking to establish whether there is sufficient interest in Plympton in setting up a community Speed Watch initiative.

A member of the Plympton Policing Team explained: “We get a lot of reports of road related problems, vehicle ASB and especially speeding vehicles here in Plympton. It would be great to have your help.

“Have you ever heard of Community Speed Watch? Well, it could see one of you trained by Police to record details of speeding vehicles using specialist equipment. Speed Watch is undertaken in 20, 30 and 40 MPH roads in our local area. It is on a volunteering basis and you will be highly visible helping to encourage drivers to become more speed aware. From the work you do, speeding drivers are contacted, explaining the potential consequences of their behaviour.

“Your help in doing this will go a long way in helping to make your community and roads a much safer place to live in.

“At the moment, Plympton does not have a group set up, so would require a few of you (around 4) to create one. This would be a great opportunity to work alongside your local team and we will support you when we can.

“If you have any questions, please let us know and we will be happy to help. We appreciate your assistance and hope to see some of you out on the road soon!”
