Fellow Rangers!
Registering interest for the Community Speedwatch scheme:
Active members of the community join together with the support of the police to monitor the speed of vehicles using detection devices.
Volunteers receive appropriate training, and are supported by neighbourhood policing team (NPT) staff. The scheme aims to cater for the problem of real or perceived speed related offending, and through partnership with the community it is to be used in circumstances that are necessary, justifiable and proportionate in order to:
Improve the quality of life for Whalley Range and Chorlton communities
Increase public awareness of inappropriate speed
Reduce the speed of vehicles to the speed limit
Reduce the risk of injury on the roads
Speed Watch activity is not about interfering with neighbours behaviour; it is a proactive solution to improve the safety and quality of life for everyone in the community.

Speeding cars and anti-social driving continue to be a challenge on some streets in Whalley Range and Chorlton.
Working with the police and local Councillors, Whalley Rangers/Whalley Range Community Forum have successfully set up a Community Speedwatch scheme.
This is a new initiative where active members of the community join together with the support of the police to monitor the speed of vehicles using detection devices.
Volunteers will receive appropriate training, and will be supported by neighbourhood policing team (NPT) staff.
If you are interested in joining this activity please contact us via communityforumwhalleyrange@gmail.com with your name, telephone number and email and we will forward on for you – or check on the Whalley Rangers Facebook for info.
