COMMUNITY SPEEDWATCH: It is probably evident that most residents in Sedlescombe have become aware of the vast increase in traffic using the B2244 through the village, and also the increase in the number of speeding vehicles. Our local speed watch group has been reformed and they are looking for volunteers to act as operators at the speed watch sessions. The theory training can be carried out online and the practical training with the speed gun can be carried out on the roadside.If you are interested in becoming a volunteer and help make the community a safer place please phone Andy Waters on 01424 870693,or email [email protected] for any further information. If you have been involved in the local speed watch group in the past, you would be most welcome to rejoin.
