Community Speed Watch 2026

There have been recent comments concerning speeding along the Edith Weston Rd. There is a Community Speed Watch (CSW) in the county and the following information is from RCC.

 RCC administers a CSW and is inviting expressions of interest in one of this year’s schemes. In total Rutland gets awarded 7 schemes, though only 5 were completed last year. Please note that to have a scheme requires quite an investment of time and effort by all involved, not least by the lead co-ordinator and so please do give it some considered thought.

Each scheme requires two-weeks of speed monitoring by trained volunteers, with schemes taking place from late March through to October. Please note that the final decision on suitability of locations for the scheme to take place will rest with RCC who will conduct a full risk assessment of potential locations. If you would like to be considered (final decision to be made at end of January) then please complete the attached Excel form and return it to me no later than Monday 19th January.

 Final LGR Proposal submitted

On 20th October 2025, the eight councils published a draft of the proposal submission and accompanying appendices. This draft was then considered by each Council as part of its own governance process. Further engagement was also undertaken with key stakeholders including MPs and Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government. Having considered any feedback received a number of refinements and amendments were made which have been built into the final submission.
