SPEEDWATCH

The Parish Council have been concerned for some time about speeding traffic in the Parish of Borden. We have some proposals for a solution and are urging KCC Highways to implement them as soon as possible.

In the short term there is a need to try and regulate traffic, travelling through the Parish, to keep to the statutory speed limits.

The Parish has had a Speedwatch scheme in place, but it has not been possible to implement the Speedwatch scheme as fast and as often as it would have liked.

Therefore, the Parish Council has decided to approach members of the community to see if someone would be willing to take up the volunteer role of coordinator for the Speedwatch scheme, within the Parish. The operation of the scheme is funded by the Parish but volunteers who take the speed checks are not paid.

The coordinator would be involved in liaising with the Police to select suitable sites, appointing individuals to these sites, ensuring operation of speed checks go ahead in a safe environment and recording information and passing on the information.

The Parish is therefore asking through social media if a resident of the Parish, is interested in becoming the Speedwatch coordinator. If you are interested or would like any more information, please email the Clerk at
