Margaret and Rob recognise that the issue of cars exceeding the 20mph speed limit in Alphington is high on residents list of concerns. Margaret recently met with P.C. Chris Conway and PCSO Kevin Davies to discuss what can be done by the police and residents.

The Police’s view is that the 20mph Alphington scheme can be enforced and they intend to continue the speeding operations that have already taken place in the Chudleigh and Church Road area. When Devon County Council introduced the 20mph limit the necessary traffic calming measures such as road humps, road narrowing measures and gateways were not put in place at the same time. Margaret has been in touch with Devon County Council to highlight this issue and request that money is allocated for traffic calming measures.

The Police wish to recruit more residents to join their “SpeedWatch” campaign to make drivers more aware of the speed limit. Please contact PCSO Kevin Davies at kevin.davies@devonandcornwall.pnn.police.uk if you would like to support the Police in reducing the speed of cars travelling through the village.
