Lubenham's speedwatch campaign.

Lubenham villagers have been trained to take part in a speed watch campaign. Speed monitoring equipment will be loaned to a group of trained villagers by Leicestershire County Council. Volunteers will monitor the speed of traffic through the village at random times during daylight hours. Information gathered will be returned to the county speedwatch team and letters will be sent to offenders.
