Southwark Cyclists speedwatch volunteers will be on Croxted Road near the junction with the South Circular. They will be protected from the revenge of the motorist by PCSO Kevin Phillips.

Detailed information about the places to be included and about Chaplin’s life can be […]
Southwark Cyclists will be lending their presence to the fight against speed near the Grange Road/Dunton Road junction. As the nights draw in the sessions are earlier in the afternoon.
