Current Priorities

Issue

Community SpeedWatch (CSW) is a traffic monitoring initiative that enables local residents to help educate road users about the impact of speed on their neighbourhoods.

The aim of CSW is to make motorists who speed through residential neighbourhoods aware of the impact their actions have on local residents, or the danger they pose to other road users and pedestrians. This is something we are working with communities to address.

Join CSW

Action

Over the last 5 weeks we have had 3 new CSW teams set up, many thanks to the community volunteers for their support with CSW.
We will also continue to support all our volunteers the best we can.

Issue

We are aware of the current increase in the ASB Driving in Cheddar Gorge and are working with our partners to find the best solution.

Action

We are aware of the current increase in the ASB Driving in Cheddar Gorge and are working with our partners to find the best solution. We regularly conduct proactive roads policing operations with the Road Safety Team and the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency.
We have recently used our dispersal powers and also issued antisocial driving warning notices, as well as sending hundreds of drivers their notice of intended prosecution for excess speed.
