Community Speedwatch co-ordinator needed

Dear Chilton and Easington residents.

Last year Community Speedwatch was launched in the area and we saw a great impact on road safety (evidence by the overall recorded reduction in speeding). Community Speedwatch is a national initiative where proactive members of the community (with the support of Thames Valley Police) work together to record details of speeding vehicles (who are then contacted by TVP with repeat offenders receiving a visit).

The Parish of Chilton and Easington have 10 volunteers trained to participate in the Community Speedwatch initiative and are ready to go but they’re currently looking for a new coordinator to pick up from the great work Finn Koefoed-Nielsen started last year.

The coordinators’ role is to set the dates/times to run a session (Subject to availability of others), manage the equipment, log the offences and share the results with the wider community. Finn has already worked with TVP to get several sites approved for us to use for Community Speedwatch activities.

If interested in taking up this role (or would like to know more), please contact Stephen Pinel on 07818 822478 or via .

You can find more details on Community Speedwatch UK here: https://www.communityspeedwatch.org/FRONT-v2-Home.php

Best wishes

Chilton Parish Council Launches WhatsApp Group

Hello, Residents of Chilton & Easington,
Chilton Parish Council have set up a Chilton & Easington WhatsApp Group to communicate village bulletins and events.
We already have a number of communication channels, including email, Facebook and the new website, but we’re still finding that not everyone in the village is being reached.
WhatsApp is widely used and a great way of keeping everyone informed through short messages.

To set up the group, we’ve used WhatsApp Community which has two important features: –

  1. The Chilton & Easington Community group is an “announcement only” channel. The administrators can post an announcement, but the group members can’t reply, thus avoiding the main message being lost in chat.
  2. The Community Group can have any number of sub-groups each with their own administrator. These could include school lift shares, Chilton Greenspace, Chilton
    Socials, dog walkers etc. As a member of the Community, you can request to set up a group as an administrator and other members have the choice to join if it’s a group that interests them.

The Parish Council will keep messaging to a minimum but will include announcements on events, project news, meeting dates and ad-hoc bulletins such as road closures or utility updates as we’re made aware of them.

Chilton PC reserves the right to close any sub-group if it’s misused in any way and you can leave the Community group at any time.

To join the Chilton & Easington WhatsApp Community just scan the QR code using the camera function on WhatsApp.

 

Your name and number will be visible only to the group administrators and anyone who has you as a contact on their phone.

Please see the PC website for a copy of the Privacy Policy https://chiltonpc.org.uk/

Thank you and we look forward to building the Chilton community.

Chilton Parish Council

If you have any problems accessing the WhatsApp community please contact Bobs Damerell
