This is to make residents aware that a group of villagers are carring out a speeding survey over the next four weeks.This is a voluntary scheme organised by Mike Watson from the Road Safety Unit from County Hall,and has the full approval of the Leicestershire Police.The volunteers will only be recording,where applicable,the excess speed,make and registration of the vehicle. This information is then passed on to Mike Watson at County Hall.

The latest police speed survey in Stoughton recorded motorists ignoring our 20mph speed limit. Over three days on Gaulby Lane the police monitored 5,728 vehicles. 96.4% were over the limit .. travelling on average at 27.4 mph. BUT 7% were over 35 mph and one lunatic was clocked at 50mph.

The Parish Council will discuss these findings and consider the need for further traffic calming.
