Volunteers needed for Community Speedwatch

In support of our local residents concerns about speeding on the A20, Bearsted Parish Council would like to start a Speed Watch Scheme.

To do this we need your help! Volunteers will be trained to use Speed detection equipment provided to record the speed of passing vehicles for 2-3 hours a week.

When vehicles exceed the speed limit, the registered keepers will receive a letter explaining the potential risks and consequences of their dangerous behaviour. Repeat offenders will receive a visit from the local police, regardless of their location.

If you would like to join the team please email clerk@bearstedparishcouncil.gov.uk

IMPORTANT – Shopper Bus Services

Due to roadworks which will take place on Ware Street between Hockers Lane and the Kim’s roundabout, this stretch of road will be closed to traffic between mid-March and mid-May.
 
A reduced temporary timetable will be in place from the start until the works are completed in May.
 
Once a start date has been confirmed, we will publish the temporary timetable.
 
The bus will start at Detling Village then continue to Bearsted, traveling via the A20 to Grove Green & Maidstone. The return journey will take the same route.
