COMMUNITY SPEED WATCH TRAINING

On Friday 29 October 2010 on Hampton Lane a serious car accident occurred. Sadly, this was followed by another car accident near the Queen’s Head on Main Road on Saturday 30 October 2010. Many police cars, ambulances and fire engines were called to the scene of each.

Meriden has a serious speeding problem. Last year, the parish council worked with West Midlands Police to form our own Community Speed Watch operation. So far in 2010, 14 sessions have taken place by residents and parish council volunteers, all trained by the police. We need more volunteers and two training sessions have now been organised by the police for this month.

 If you’d like to help reduce speed in the parish, please come along to the training. The more volunteers we have, the more sessions we can undertake. Ideally, we should have weekly sessions. The more we make our Community Speed Watch actively visible throughout the parish, the more drivers will take note.


If you’d like to attend either of the sessions please contact the Parish Clerk on 01676 533395 so as the police can accommodate the number of attendees.
