Thank you to Judith Daws for organising this latest speed watch and to all the volunteers who gave up their mornings.

Attached are the results of the Speed Watch which was carried out from 27th July to 9th August.
Although it was very quiet 212 speeding motorists were "caught" by the team which is more than the last speed watch. However the average speed has decreased which is encouraging.

The next speed watch will be in April / May 2010.

Stathern Parish Council agreed unanimously to adopt the Parish Plan which was launched on 19th November.

The Parish Plan was launched at the Stathern War Memorial Institute on 19th November 2008 and was well supported by the local community.

The event was arranged to mark and celebrate the completion and publication of the 'Stathern Parish Plan' which has been produced by a group of hard working local volunteers along with the help and guidance of the RCCs Rural Action Team.

The evening was lead by Ken Bray, Chairman of the Parish Plan Steering Committee, included responses to the Action Plan from the Parish Council and Paul Goodman from Leicestershire County Council and was attended by Sam Howlett the RCCs Community Development Officer for the Melton District.

The Community Speed Watch was operational in our village during a 4 week period at the end of April and beginning of May. (See earlier report from 28th Feb.)
Please see the attachments below for details about the monitoring, the results, the analysis and the report with recommendations which was submitted to the Parish Council.
Many thanks to Judith Daws for organising the Speed Watch and for providing the reports below.

Analysis and Report...

You may have seen other villages in our area operating a "Community Speed Watch", where villagers monitor the speed of traffic passing through the village. Stathern will shortly be operatng its own scheme. If you are concerned about speeding in the village and would like to be involved with this worthwhile initiative, please contact the Clerk for further details.

The Parish Council wishes all residents a very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.
