Concerns were raised about speeding in the Village.
Following consultation, the Parish Council received 50% Parish Partnership Funding and were able to purchase a SAM2 machine (Speed Awareness Monitoring). This unit provides an indication of speeding habits.
The unit has no facility to collect identifying information such as car registration or photographic images of approaching cars. The data collected shows the time of day and approaching speeds only, and will be stored electronically. The data will be retained for as long as it is deemed useful.
This SAM 2 unit will enable the council to analyse the data collected and over time build a picture of where and when speeding occurs in the village to see if there are patterns. This information will be used to inform the Norfolk Constabulary and NCC Road Safety partnership so that further support / action can be sought.
The unit will only stay only in any one location (i.e. facing one direction, turned around is classified as another location) for a month and will not reappear at that location for at least two clear months.
Regular reports will be published on the website.
