Lavant Community SpeedWatch

Community SpeedWatch is a partnership between the Community, the Police and Local Authorities. It gives local people the ability to actively get involved in road safety.

The aim of Lavant Community SpeedWatch was set up on March 2019. It is fundamentally to make motorists who speed through residential neighbourhoods aware of the impact their actions have on local residents, or the danger they pose to other road users and pedestrians. This is something we are working with communities to address.

Through the latest Sussex Police Property Act Fund, the Lavant CSW team have been granted an award to purchase Speed Calming Equipment.There are currently 4 members but the group needs your support with extra volunteers.

Please contact clerk@lavantparishcouncil.co.uk if you have time to volunteer. No experience needed as all the training can be given.
