At last, residents of Bodenham are being given an opportunity to address a problem we know causes much distress. We need volunteers to be trained to work as part of a Community Speed Watch initiative. Details of the scheme can be found below from the West Mercia Police website. If you are willing to help, please contact either Chris Smith (parish clerk) or any parish councillor.

| With Community Speed Watch now in its eighth year of operation within West Mercia, local communities are being reminded about the scheme and how volunteers can get involved in speed monitoring and improve the quality of life in their area if speeding traffic is causing concern.
Community Speed Watch is a community driven road safety initiative, coordinated by West Mercia Police but managed and run by volunteers in the community. It involves trained volunteers from the community monitoring the speeds of vehicles with approved, hand-held speed measurement devices. Where vehicle speeds are found to be inappropriate, a letter is sent to the registered keeper by the police with the aim of encouraging them to reduce their speed when driving in the future.
