This a first-ever Community Speedwatch on the Heygate in Walworth. Speeds can get very high here, with a nice, straight road ahead. Speedwatch is a collaboration between concerned volunteers, TfL and the Met. A Southwark Cyclists' volunteer will be holding the speedgun and shouting out the speeds "45" "32" Beside her will be a PCSO […]
A Southwark Cyclists' volunteer will be holding the speedgun and PCSO Kevin Phillips (see pic) will be writing down the car numbers, colours and makes. He sends the details, by now including names and addresses, to TfL. At this stage it's TfL who send out deploring letters to the speeding drivers pointing out the error […]
A Southwark Cyclists' volunteer will be helping police with their enquiries this morning with a particular emphasis on speed and other anti-social behaviours relating to motor cars. As far as War on the Motorist goes this is low level stuff but it's a pretty complete answer to the idea that if speeding mattered the police […]
Please register on Eventbrite if you plan to attend. Having an idea of the numbers helps with planning. However, registration is not compulsory - last minute arrivals will be welcome.

Southwark Cyclist volunteer, Werner, will be wielding the speed gun this evening on Southwark Bridge Road.

A Southwark Cyclists volunteer will be holding the speed gun in East Dulwich Grove -- giving drivers a little surprise when they tear out of the traffic lights. Fortunately the speedgun holders are protected by the long arm of the law in the form of PCSO Kevin Phillips and he in turn benefits from evidence […]
Southwark Cyclist Werner is a man who likes staying alive and after one particularly close pass, he decided to act. He will be wielding the speedgun on Long, Lane aided and abetted by PCSO Kevin Phillips. Kevin is an affable soul (see pic above) but he tends to chat so it's important to keep him […]
How we police our roads (or don't) is a political big deal at the moment. You can help it up the agenda. Speedwatch produces the data which show how much speeding goes on when the police aren't looking. This report https://www.police-foundation.org.uk/publication/the-future-of-roads-policing/ calls for more emphasis on keeping the roads safe, It calls for the Home Office […]
Local boroughs decide the layout of almost all roads in London. Councillors talk the talk about active transport, but do they walk the walk (or cycle the cycle)? Elections are a time to pressure our local politicians to TAKE ACTION. To improve cycling facilities MUCH MORE so that our roads are safer, our planet less […]
