New speed device for Wesham
A NEW speed device is to be deployed in Wesham.
The Town Council agree to the purchase a recent Town Council meeting.
The rechargeable battery powered device, which will cost about 2,500, will be deployed randomly in Wesham and will be available for rent by other Town and Parish Councils.
Wesham Councillor, Simon Renwick, is delighted with the buy.
He said: "Wesham is the first Town Council in Fylde to purchase such a device.
"All the evidence points to the devices having a major impact on reducing speed and therefore making the roads safer.
"I think this is a real advancement for a forward thinking Town Council and I am proud to have been involved in this decision and ultimately the purchase."
He added: "I also feel that being able to hire the unit out for a small administrative cost will foster good will and help the rest of rural Fylde with any speeding issues they have.
"The next step is identifying a couple more sites in Wesham to supplement the one on Fleetwood Road and the one on Weeton Road.
"But this is of course great news and I really am looking forward to the arrival of this unit and the subsequent improvement in road safety."
