Handy little device, maybe useful in and around ilminster.

PCSO Mike from the Somerton Neighbourhood Team has been out supporting his linked Community Speed Watch Schemes with additional solo watches, first in Somerton and then in Aller.

Yet again we have another accident in ilminster, this time on the pedestrian crossing by the petrol station of all places.

When will the police and council pay attention to the speed of the traffic in this town!

Hope the lady recovers okay.

It would appear that this is what the highways dept are resurfacing the roads with within the next three days.
My experience of this surface is that its a quick fix with no real staying power to withstand the amount of heavy traffic sustained by these roads.

After a very helpful council meeting on Tuesday this group is now aware to them and they seem to think it will be helpful to work together in solving a few local issues.

Also on a very positive note the council are actively looking into a location for a temporary speed monitoring box in ilminster.
