HOLSWORTHY Police are hoping to encourage the community to join the local police team in a new scheme called 'Community Speed Watch.' It is designed to involve the public in helping the police by having a greater impact on reducing speed in the area.

They are looking for volunteers of all ages from the town and rural area to patrol local roads with police officers and PCSOs, using a radar speed detection gun. They will be required to fill in an application form and to have an advanced security check, which will be conducted and paid for by Devon and Cornwall Constabulary.

Anyone who is interested and would like more information, should contact Andrew Elston PCSO 30369) on
