Published on Friday 14 November 2008 09:48

VILLAGERS recorded 857 cars breaking the 30mph limit through Whitwell in four weeks over the summer.

Volunteers using a hand-held radar gun found the average speed of the speeding vehicles was about 46mph.

The highest recorded was 69mph and 664 motorists drove at between 40mph and 50mph, while 152 were recorded at 50mph to 60mph and 17 at more than 60mph.

Parish council chairman Micheline Sturley said: "We don't know how many speeding motorists were sent letters from the police telling them to be more speed aware but the results indicate that had they followed up each offence, they would have been kept exceedingly busy."
