Ashington Town Council is proud to celebrate one of our own making waves on the world stage – literally at the bottom of it.
Dr Nina Purvis, daughter of Town Council Chair Cllr Mark Purvis, is currently living and working in one of the most extreme environments on Earth as the European Space Agency’s selected medical doctor at Concordia Station in Antarctica – a place so remote and challenging it’s nicknamed “White Mars.”
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.
