Appendix A – April Briefing notes

Briefing Notes – April 2024

COMMUNITY SPEEDWATCH

Concerning speeds – Farriers continues to be an issue.

SIDs – The SIDs were in operation throughout March however the manufacture has stopped sporting the Web based interrogation software so currently I am unable to access the downloaded SID data. See Table 2.

The company has agreed to send me a copy of the software so that I load it onto a computer. As writing I am still awaiting receipt of it. The timing of this is rather unfortunate as I was hoping to compere SID date at the Village Hall pre and post Camera installation.

Recent Local SpeedWatch Activity – 3 manned Deployment were undertaken during March. A total of 43 vehicles were reported to the Police from the 431 vehicles checked – hit rate 10%. Top speed recorded 46mph. See Table 3.

Equipment – One SID has had something thrown (either intentionally or thrown up by a passing vehicle) at it and now has a large dent in it. Fortunately, it missed the screen.

AutoSpeedWatch Camera – The Camera is now up and running at the Village Hall (full operational date 16^th March) monitoring traffic flow East Bound. We are still in the learning phase and getting to understand the nuances of it.

Some initial observations regarding the camera, first the bad:

Alignment was difficult and took several attempts, however, the company was extremely helpful in aiding us with this.
The post the camera is mounted on is within the parameters set by AutoSpeedWatch but ideally it would be better if the post was positioned 0.5m – 0.7m closer to the highway. this would greatly aid the alignment and image quality.
The camera is affected by either low sun directly on the lens or when reflecting from the vehicles.
The photo quality suffers from low light. (It’s only rated for daylight operation).
Camera timing speed seems inconsistent as some vehicles are not framed at the same point on the road.
In some instances, photo quality is not optimal.
The camera function would benefit from improved optics, obviously this would come at a cost.
Sensitivity adjustments are critical, so you record the correct number. It this is not correct you run the risk of missing some vehicles or recording vehicles travelling in the opposite direction.
Ghost images (no vehicle in frame) are sometimes recorded which have to be manually deleted, these however do not show in the stats.
Roughly 10-15% of numbers can’t be read either due to dirty number plates or poor image quality.

And the good:

The Company has been very helpful in getting the camera up and running.
The software is excellent, it is intuitive and has worked without glitches.
The software provides a comprehensive data set which can be tuned for reporting.
The ANPR function is good, this saves a lot of time during verification.
For the price and what it is doing the camera and supporting software seem exceptional value for money.

Some general observations:

There are some persistent offenders with 1 vehicle being recorded 9 times within 16 days.
A good proportion of vehicles recorded are work vans and HGVs (including busses).
I am not sure that drivers realise that there is a camera there or that they are just happy to ignore it. Further signs would likely help in this.
There are a lot of vehicles risking a £1000 fine for having a dirty number plate.
Approximately 2.5% of vehicles are showing on the DVLA register as being without a valid Tax, MoT or are registered as SORNed.
The fastest hour is 3-4pm.
If this was a Highways installed camera and you took the average daily number recorded so far and applied this over a year and applied the penalty charge (£100), the camera would be collecting over £2m/annum

Table 1: Camera Data (part Month) – Camera switched on 4^th March and alignment and changing settings until the 16^th where the sensitivity of the unit was changed to record more vehicles. (Note: If the sensitivity is increased too much the unit picks up vehicles passing in the opposite direction. I think it is set about right currently The Police have direct access to the information collected by the camera. The Camera trigger and reporting speed are set at =>35mph.

The data point was taken at 9am on the 1^st April. I will include further data next month where I can show a full month.

Month/Year	Verified Speeders =>35mph	Max Speed Recorded	Illegal Vehicles (No Tax Mot or SORNed)	Highest number of offences committed by one vehicle	Fastest Hour
March 2004 (part)	1258	59mph	31	9	3-4pm

Clerk to process.	*Clerk*
b.	24/00514/HSE – 10 Cornice Road Chineham Erection of single storey rear extension and alteration to part of the car port · Proposed extension will mean the loss of half of the car port, which will reduce parking spaces for the property.

c.	T/00135/24/TPO – 16 Wallis Drive Bramley T2 Sycamore in the front garden: pollard. · Defer to tree officer unanimously agreed. Clerk to process.	*Clerk*

Any overspill parking is likely to use the Church car park. Also, any waste management is likely to take up a space or two, as there is no waste management area identified. · The site is within 100 yards of the junction with Cufaude Lane – this could cause issues at busy times. It is also close to the proposed development of four dwellings, which will also have a junction close to the site. · Members expressed concerns about smells and noise from the kitchen and extractors. · Access for waste collection vehicles is likely to be constricted at best. · If takeaway services are to be a future development, then it is likely to be very busy at times with traffic.
