A digital speed indicator

A new initiative hoping to cut the number of drivers speeding through Hammerwich is being rolled out.

A solar-powered digital speed indicator will flag up how fast motorists are travelling.

If they’re within the limit then a green smiley face appears – but if they go over the limit, a red angry face will appear on the LED screen.

Vance Wasdell, Chairman of Hammerwich Parish Council said:

> “I am impressed with the response shown by drivers.  
>  
> “Public participation is the key, and we seem to be getting it.  
>  
> ”I thank Cllr Dave King for his hard work on the project to help make our roads safer.”  
>  
> Vance Wasdell, Hammerwich Parish Council

The village’s Speedwatch Team will also continue to work with Staffordshire Police to monitor drivers travelling above the limit in Hammerwich alongside the new device.
