Fed up with speeding? You can do something about it. Volunteer for Community Speedwatch. You can suggest times, dates and locations. The community volunteer holds the speedgun and a PCSO writes down the numbers and makes of offending vehicles. Then he sends the details to TfL who sends owners cross letters. If you think that […]
Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva will be wielding the speedgun at the junction of Salter Road and Lagado Mews. With him will be PCSO Kevin Phillips. Bob shouts out the speeds, Kevin writes down the numbers and makes. You will not be surprised to know that in a two hour session they fill four pages of […]
Don't think we're picking on Salter Road or anything. It's just that our cycling volunteers specially object to speeding around here. The man with the gun for this second outing of the day on Salter Road will be Werner who runs some of our Saturday rides about Victorian engineers. This is always a popular spot […]
The team will be at the junction of Croxted Road and the South Circular, speedgun at the ready. The evidence of speeding that they provide has persuaded the Met to set its own speed traps. Volunteers can suggest dates, times and locations to PCSO Kevin Phillips who will check their suitability (no speed humps, no […]

The community representation (Bob) shows that people without cars care about speeding and Kevin in full police uniform answers the charge that "if speeding mattered the police would do […]
Speedwatch volunteer and Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva will be holding the speedgun and PCSO Kevin Phillips will be writing down the numbers at or near the Croxted Road junction with the South Circular.

Salter Road gets a lot of attention from the Community Speedwatch teams. That's because speeding drivers along here have a habit of handing out frights. Werner, who leads some of our Healthy Rides and Bank Holiday specials, doesn't appreciate frights. He likes to get even. The result is a lot of speed measurement on Salter […]
Southwark Cyclist Bob Eva will be holding the speedgun and PCSO Kevin Phillips will be writing down the registration numbers on Dog Kennel Hill near the junction with Quorn Road. Dog Kennel Hill does (probably) have a real connection with dogs in that Prince George of Denmark had kennels for his hounds here. However, there is also a theory that an […]
