The Parish Council has published the data from the Speed Indicator Device (SID) deployment outside OneStop at Canford Bottom during the first week of March.
While the average speed seems reasonable it is disconcerting that apparently over 11% seem to regard driving round a blind bend into a residential area at speeds in excess of 35mph as acceptable.
