Speed watch volunteers needed

The Transport Advisory Group (TAG) of Sandgate Parish Council is looking for local volunteers to help with the speed watch campaign.

Various members of the council and local residents received training in its use over the summer and are now ready to put it into practice, but more helpers are needed.
