Bob Eva will be representing the community and holding the speed gun. Looking after him will be his personal police protection officer, Kevin Phillips. Kevin gets between Bob and angry drivers. The picture doesn't show one of their captures but you get the idea. Bob and Kevin will be exercising their skills in Herne Hill at […]
Southwark Cyclist volunteer Bob Eva will be on Grange Road near the junction with Dunton Road with his trusty speed gun and his trusty personal protector Kevin Phillips representing the Met. Anyone can join in. If the idea of pointing a speedgun at motorists attracts you, then mail PCSO Phillips on kevin.j.phillips@met.police.uk. He will be […]
Penultimate community roadwatch of the year. Last chance to join in before they pack up for Christmas. Today our intrepid Southwark Cyclist volunteer (well wrapped up) will be holding his gun with Met supporter Kevin Phillips writing down the car numbers. He writes down a lot. If you feel you would like to join in […]
College ward Southwark councillor will be behind the speedgun near the junction of Dulwich Wood Park and Kingswood Road. The Speedwatchers had good hauls here pre-Christmas -- let's see if the thrill of speeding downhill continues to appeal in the dreary days of January. To join in mail kevin.j.phillips@met.pnn.police.uk (pictured above). Community volunteers get a […]
This activity is called Community Speedwatch in the rest of the country but Boris Johnson felt Community Roadwatch was less offensive to the motoring lobby. However we will call it by its proper name which is a good description of what it does -- point a speed camera at drivers going too fast and then […]
A collaborative effort between the community and the cops. The police need civilian protection so the drivers don't get too offensive. Bob Eva will be representing Southwark Cyclists and holding the gun at the junction of Long Lane and Staples Road. PCSO Kevin Phillips (see pic) will be writing the numbers down with added tellings-off for […]
That's the best speedwatch result in a 20mph zone so far. But others come close. Volunteer to hold the speedgun and see if you can better it. The community (represented by in this case by Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva) and the police (PCSO Kevin Phillips) catch drivers speeding and do something about it. They will be […]
Jeremy Leach of Southwark Living Streets and a 20s Plenty campaigner will be holding the speedgun at the junction of Southwark Bridge Road and Sawyer Street. The signs on the road say 20. They are big enough. Somehow drivers find them hard to see. You can join in. To become a Community Speedwatch Volunteer mail […]
That's 51mph in a 20mph zone. Top speed so far 66mph. Speeding drivers claim to be the best judge of their own speed and (anyway) if it mattered the police would do something about them. The police meanwhile warm and snug in their cars, unaware that drivers are on their best behaviour all round them, […]

The community volunteer -- in this case Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva -- holds the speed gun and the Met writes down the numbers and sends […]
