Road Safety in Parwich

Tuesday January 28, 2020 by Steve J

The Parish Council has again requested support from the highways Authority (Derbyshire County Council) to address a number of concerns raised by residents. This time we sought the support of our County Councillor Simon Spencer.

This reply was received from Councillor Spencer’s Office.

A link was also provided to the report on 20 mph limits to the Cabinet of Derbyshire County Council in January 2019.

Interestingly we received this news release from the office derbyshire police and crime commissioner, which seems to contradict a lot of what the county council is saying –

Pcc Takes Action on Community Speeding Concerns

Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Hardyal Dhindsa will join community volunteers undertaking a speed monitoring exercise in Littleover as he announces new funding empowering residents to take control of road safety in their area.

The Commissioner will join Community Speed Watch (CSW) volunteers in Littleover, Derby, on Friday 31st January as they undertake speed monitoring work to help improve road safety.
During the visit, the PCC will join Neil Carter, Community Speed Watch Co-ordinator from Derbyshire Constabulary’s Casualty Reduction Enforcement Support Team, and active CSW volunteers.

He will also unveil new resources and funding to expand the service, in response to speeding worries which was the most frequently raised issue during his #D383 tour of 383 villages, towns and neighbourhoods across Derbyshire.

CSW has been operating in Derbyshire for the past 13 years and is primarily aimed at reducing speeds in areas of concern by making drivers aware that excessive speed within posted limits is socially unacceptable.Image
