Speed Device
In 2021, the Parish Council purchased a device to allow collection of data of vehicle volumes and speeds.
This device is portable and can be attached to any appropriate pole that has a line of sight of the highway.
The device does not gather any personal information.
Evidence is presented to the appropriate authorities as required for example to support complaints around speeding or to highlight high volumes of vehicle movements.
