OSCOTT COMMUNITY SPEED WATCH





COMMUNITY SPEED WATCH
Members of the community can support Police neighbourhood teams to help raise awareness within the community of the dangers of speeding and to help control the problem locally. This provides a practical way of local community volunteers doing something practical to help reduce speeding in their neighbourhoods.Some of their members work out on the street with the Local Police team taking details of speeding vehicles.
 Those observed speeding depending on the circumstances will be sent a letter by the Police informing them they have been observed speeding, following action may be taken if the same driver re offends. The Community Speed Watch team have a de breifing session with the Police on a monthly basis as part of Oscott Neighbourhood Tasking Group sessions

The Local Oscott team have been doing an excellent job over the last 12 months.
Some of the many roads they have operated in are
The Aldridge Road.
Olld Oscott Hill
Kettle House Road
Kingstanding Road.
Elmbridge Road
Old Oscott Lane
Birdbrook Road
 A junior speed watch has also been working with the Police.

This is another good example of the community trying to work together to reduce problems in the area.
