Community Speedwatch volunteers needed
Dear Chilton and Easington residents.
The village needs your help! A final call for expressions of interest someone taking on the coordinator role for our Parish Community Speedwatch.
In 2023 Community Speedwatch was launched in the area and we saw a great impact on road safety (evidence by the reduction in speeding captured through the speed sign on Thame Road). Community Speedwatch is a national initiative where proactive members of the community (with the support of Thames Valley Police (TVP)) 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 Speedwatch and are ready to go but they’re looking for a new coordinator. If we’re unable to re-establish, TVP will require us to return all the equipment.
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 community. We have already worked with TVP to get sites approved for us to use for Speedwatch activities.
If interested in taking up this role (or would like to know more), please contact Stephen Pinel on 07818 822478 or via
