Starting A Scheme

6 EASY STEPS

1. A Parish Council or a Formal Action Group must request to become part of the scheme. Register your interest with the Community Speed Watch Co-ordinator on 0116 305 7336 or click here to e-mail.
2. There must be a suitable and safe area(s) for the speed checks to be held. The final say is with the Community Speed Watch Co-ordinator after consultation with the local co-ordinator.
3. There must be a minimum of 200 signatures obtained or 20% of the village/location population (whichever is the lower) to support the scheme. A Pledge document is available for downloading: please click here to download (in Word .doc format). If you need further advice contact the Community Speed Watch Co-ordinator.
4. There must be between 6 and 16 people to take part as Community Speed Watch Volunteers. One volunteer should be identified as a co-ordinator and another as a deputy. The co-ordinator should have access to e-mail.
5. Identify a site locally for the training to take place, Parish Rooms or Halls have been used and are ideal.
6. When all the above is in place the Parish Council or Formal Action Group can apply to go on the waiting list for volunteers to be trained.

The schemes will run on a first come first serve basis so the earlier you can get the pledge signatures, identify the volunteers and a co-ordinator the sooner the scheme has an opportunity run.
