Join the Community Speed Watch Scheme
High Melton Parish Council - Community Speed Watch Scheme is seeking local volunteers to help tackle speeding and improve road safety throughout the village

Volunteers Needed for Community Speed Watch
High Melton Parish Council is inviting residents to get involved in a new Community Speed Watch initiative aimed at helping reduce speeding and improve road safety within the village.
Speeding remains a concern for many residents and can have a significant impact on safety, quality of life and the wellbeing of our community. Community Speed Watch provides a positive way for local people to work together with the Parish Council and the police to raise awareness of vehicle speeds and encourage safer driving habits.
The scheme is volunteer-led and will involve trained residents carrying out roadside speed monitoring at approved locations. Information gathered is passed to the police, who remain responsible for any enforcement action. The scheme does not issue fines or penalties but helps educate drivers, identify problem areas and support wider road safety initiatives.
No previous experience is required. Full training, equipment and ongoing support will be provided to all volunteers before they participate in any speed watch activities. Volunteers will also receive guidance on safety, recording information and the use of speed monitoring equipment.
If you would like to get involved and help make a difference in our community, please contact the Clerk by email (clerk@highmeltonparishcouncil.gov.uk) to register your interest and find out more about volunteering opportunities.
Together, we can help make High Melton’s roads safer for everyone.
