Do YOU want to make a real difference?

Speed Watch Volunteers Needed
​
The Parish continues to suffer from drivers speeding through the villages. The Police recently hosted a road safety meeting attended by County Councillors, Speed Watch team representatives and members of the
public. At the meeting the Police strongly pointed out how much they appreciated the work of the Speed Watch teams and how this led to more effective road safety policing. Beetley Parish Council supports the Beetley Speed Watch team. If you would like to assist, or to find out more, please contact George Hayes via ghayes2098@aol.com.
