Just three drivers caught going too fast by volunteers on 30mph Tintwistle road

The Hadfield Community Speed Watch (CSW) Volunteers recorded just three people driving too fast on 30mph Manchester Road, Tintwistle.

A total of 888 vehicles were recorded driving by the team during the event.

A spokesman said: "The vast majority of drivers kept to the limit - so thank you to them from the community."Speeding is a source of concern for several communities, not only in terms of its potential to kill and seriously injure others, but also the anti- social levels of noise and increased pollution it creates.

"CSW enables groups of trained community volunteers to directly contribute to reducing the problem of speeding vehicles on local roads.

"Community Speed Watch is not an enforcement tool, it is used to make drivers aware of speeding in certain areas and is to encourage and educate drivers to try to stick to the speed limit.

"The location chosen had been identified by members of the public previously. it was then passed onto our volunteers as an area where speeding can be an issue.

"We'd like to thank the 2 volunteers who took part and enabled the event to take place, including the support received by members of the public and residents in Tintwistle, during the event this afternoon.
