Community Road Watch is a locally driven initiative for members of the local community. They join together with the support of their local Police Road Safety teams, to monitor speeds of vehicles using speed detection devices. Vehicles exceeding the speed limit are referred to the Police with the aim of educating drivers to reduce their speeds. All patrols have Police team members present.


Volunteers are trained on the day by Police in using the speed detection device, and they help take down vehicle details, Car reg, model and colour, speed. All volunteers have hi vis to wear. Volunteers also have local knowledge about what local roads and sites and times of day to monitor, to inform future patrols.


Registered keepers of vehicles that exceed the speed limit threshold are contacted/sent letters advising them of the speed that the vehicle was driven at with the aim of educating them, changing their behaviour and reducing their speed.


I've always found patrols friendly and very useful. It gives the local community the evidence on speed issues.

    • tried the traditional beef empanada yesterday and it was amazing honestly, hotter and better than the other place (no offence!). I really don’t see the issue with having more than one of the same type of shop – we’ve got Indian restaurants, two supermarkets, two cheese shops, two pizza joints, even two paint shops! So I don’t get what all the fuss is about. Good food is good food, and there’s room for everyone.
    • I understand you access ancestry from any Southwark library computer. Or see the real post office directories in archive. 
    • Hello! We are relocating abroad and so will be withdrawing our two children (ages 4 and 6) from St Dunstan’s College (Catford). If any family is considering enrolling children of a similar age, now would be an excellent opportunity—we’re required to pay full‑term fees unless the places are taken. Please get in touch if you’re interested or know someone who might be. Thank you!
