I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Speeding, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey. Support communities to take action on speeding:
Enabling members of the community to become police support volunteers and take action against speeding on the roads of concern within their area.
Volunteers use equipment that can monitor the speed of passing traffic and then record the details, later adding them to a database. Vehicle checks are then undertaken by the police and letters are then sent to the registered keepers advising them of their speed and reminding them of why it is a community concern.
Setting up a scheme
If you wish to set up or join a Community Speedwatch scheme speak with a local police community support officer (PCSO) or contact us (speedwatch@hampshire.pnn.police.uk) to check if there is an existing scheme in your area or one nearby that might be able to expand.
If there is a scheme in your area or one nearby, make contact and see how they can assist covering your area. You may need to help them recruit more volunteers or get extra funding.
If there is no local or nearby scheme and you wish to set one up then you need to consider:
Who in your community is interested in tackling this problem?
Who in your local parish or town council will support the scheme?
Is speeding one of the concerns and priorities for the community?
 If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at www.hampshire.police.uk, or call the non-emergency number 101. Alternatively, you can stay 100 per cent anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
