Driver clocked at 65mph during Padfield speed checks

A driver was recorded travelling at 65mph in a 40mph zone during a community speed monitoring session in Padfield. 

The Hadfield Community Speed Watch volunteer team carried out the checks on Padfield Main Road between 2pm and 3pm on Tuesday 3rd November. 

A total of 108 vehicles passed the team during the hour, with just one recorded travelling above the 46mph threshold used for the monitoring scheme. That vehicle was recorded at 65mph. 

The location was identified by residents in the Hadfield, Padfield and Tintwistle ward as an area of concern about speeding and was selected as one of the community's policing priorities. 

Glossop Safer Neighbourhood Team thanked the four volunteers who gave up their time to carry out the checks, as well as local residents who stopped to show their appreciation. 

The team said the volunteers' visible presence was helping to make local roads safer and reduce speeding in the community.
