War on the motorist -- point a speedgun at a speeding driver. Nothing much happens as a result -- TfL sends out sorrowful letters lamenting the law-breaking -- but your evidence encourages the real police to join in with real speeding tickets. See pic for one of the speeds they logged. The team will be […]
Point a speed gun at a speeding driver. The results are so impressive the Met have decided to take an interest. Driving round in police cars they didn't see much speeding and so they thought it didn't happen. Community Speedwatch shows that it does (as we all know). The team will be at the junction […]

These evening bike fixing sessions are a joint venture between Southwark Cyclists and Lettsom Tenants and Residents […]
Bob Eva (relation) will be holding the speedgun and representing the community. PCSO Kevin Phillips (see pic above) will be representing the majesty of the law. Malefactors only get rude letters but they are rude letters from the police and so carry a certain threatening quality. Second offence results in car being entered on police […]
