At the PACT meeting at Woodham Village Community Centre the police heard about continuing resident concern on speeding in the Woodham area.

As a result they were out doing a speedwatch with a good response. Thank you Newton Aycliffe Police.

We cannot have a policeman stationed all day every day on every street to catch speeding motorists. What is needed is a change in motorists’ attitudes, so that we drive always with care and consideration, in a way which will not alarm residents.

Councillors Joan Gray, Mike Dixon and John Clare got the digital speed visors put up on Woodham Way and Burn Lane which helps.
