Speeding
Community Speedwatch (CSW) is a national initiative where active members of local communities join with the support of the police to monitor speeds of vehicles using speed detection devices. They work on behalf of the Police and communities to organise CSW activity.
To report speeding, or going through “no entry” signs, please make a toad traffic incident report.
