🚗 WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A COMMUNITY SPEEDWATCH VOLUNTEER? 🚦

Are you concerned about speeding through Bekesbourne and Patrixbourne? Would you like to help make our village roads safer?

💚 We need your help!

Bekesbourne with Patrixbourne Parish Council is hoping to establish a Community Speedwatch group, but we need a few more volunteers to get things moving!

So, what's involved?

✅ Give a little of your time/ Flexible volunteering – Volunteers take part in organised roadside sessions, usually only lasting around an hour!!! 

✅ Work as part of a team – You'll never be expected to carry out Speedwatch sessions alone.

✅ Receive training – Volunteers are given guidance and training on how to use the equipment and carry out sessions safely.

✅ Help monitor vehicle speeds – Using approved equipment, volunteers record details of vehicles travelling above the designated threshold.

✅ Make a difference – Information is passed to Kent Police, who can take appropriate follow-up action, helping to raise awareness and encourage safer driving.

Do I need any experience?

Not at all! Just a willingness to volunteer some of your time to help improve road safety in our community.

Are you interested in getting involved?

Please get in touch with the Parish Clerk to register your interest or find out more.

Even a small amount of your time could help make a real difference!
