𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🚨

On Friday, Community Speedwatch (CSW) volunteers across the UK united for the first-ever National Day of Action, supporting the NPCC’s Operation Spotlight to tackle the fatal four driving offences.

With nearly 2,500 schemes and over 17,000 dedicated volunteers, CSW empowers local residents to take an active role in road safety. 

Just across Derbyshire alone, 35 sessions of Community Speedwatch were carried out by volunteers on the day by using approved speed detection devices. Offending drivers receive a warning letter, reminding them of the serious risks and consequences of speeding.

This initiative is about education, not enforcement—and it’s backed by local police forces who value the commitment of these community teams working to make roads safer for everyone.

Only by working together can we reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on our roads.

Residents are being urged to stay alert following a warning from Action Fraud about ‘Quishing’ — a form of phishing where criminals use fake QR codes to steal personal and financial information.

Between April 2024 and April 2025, over £3.5 million was lost to quishing scams. These often appear in public places like car parks or in emails pretending to be from trusted organisations. 

Always check QR codes for signs of tampering (like stickers over official codes) and avoid scanning codes from suspicious emails or texts. If in doubt, go directly to the official website instead.
