Ashington Town Council is one of the largest town councils in Northumberland, with 18 elected Councillors across six wards, a budget exceeding £1.2 million, and a small but dedicated team delivering real impact for the communities of Ashington. We are ambitious for our town and we are looking for an exceptional officer to join us as Deputy Town Clerk.
Speed Monitoring
The Town Council purchased movable Speed Indicator Devices (SID) in 2018 with two aims; firstly, to educate drivers of speed limits and remind them not to speed, and secondly to be able to collect reliable speed data to quantify speeding issues. SIDs have been proven to be effective at enforcing speed limits as many drivers don’t realise, they are going too fast.
The SID displays the speed a driver is driving (up to a limit to discourage people trying to see how high they can go) and a message to slow down. It is mounted on lamp columns or street signs, and we work with Northumberland County Councils Highways to determine suitable locations.
