A number of drivers were caught travelling over the speed limit on a busy road in Tintwistle on Sunday afternoon.

PCSO Brian Buller, of the Hadfield Safer Neighbourhood Team, was assisted by two volunteers to carry out another Community Speed Watch on Manchester Road. 

The speed limit along that stretch of the A628 is 30mph. 

During the event between 2pm and 3pm, 1,163 vehicles went by. 

Of those, 70 were recorded driving at speeds between 31 and 35mph. 

A further 13 vehicles were also recorded driving at speeds above 36 mph.

PCSO Buller thanked the volunteers who took part and warns drivers using that road to slow down and stick to the speed limit. 

It follows the recent Community Speed Watch in Padfield earlier this month, where three drivers were caught excessively speeding on Padfield Main Road.

  • The signs they are a changin'

    It was the end of an era at Whitfield Community Centre this week as the old Derbyshire County Council signage was removed to make way for new ones. Whitfield Together, the group that bought the Centre for the community, is refreshing the Centre's image. Its new logo will soon go up on the front of the building. Gerry Dominey told us, "It seemed like a significant moment when we took the sign down. It was as if we were saying that the Centre is ours now and we can put our paw print on it. And that felt good."
