SPEEDWATCH – VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

The Parish Council is seeking ways to reduce speeding traffic in the village, but can make progress only if supported by data. Speedwatch is a good way of gathering such data, so there is an urgent need for volunteers from Little Gransden. Training will be given. If you can spare a few hours to help please contact the Clerk ssulledit@aol.com
