The Neighbourhood Policing Team is encouraging CSW to continue
and we will be working alongside CSW. Sites are now active in and
around Halstead, Gosfield, Gt Yeldham, Lt Yeldham, Wakes Colne,
White Ash Green, Lamarsh/ Alphamstone, Sible Hedingham, Ridgewell,
Foxearth and Helions Bumpstead. There are no restrictions on the
number of volunteers required so those still wishing to take an
active part in controlling speed in their villages volunteer are
more than welcome to do so. The more volunteers that come forward
the more productive and effective the sites' become. All vehicles
recorded exceeding the speed limit are noted by Essex Police and
warning letters are sent to offenders. The CSW has recently
purchased a newer and more effective LASER speed detection device.
This is more accurate in the fact that it can pinpoint any vehicle
coming or going from any direction and regardless of where the
vehicle is positioned on the road. Halstead Police now have more
police officers trained in the use of Speed Detection devices and
are now in use supporting the CSW members.
