Speeding through Odiham & North Warnborough is considered to be one of the main issues of concern for residents. OPC has no jurisdiction over the highway but can take measures to support the Police and to encourage a reduction in speed. This led to the creation of a new Speedwatch group in 2021 which is run by volunteers and meets regularly to records speed in hot spot areas. Speedwatch is a Police approved scheme which aims to reduce speeds by making drivers pay attention to their speeds. Data is sent to the Police after each session who process the data. The Data below is from last year 2023. Once data starts to come in from this year it will be added to a new page for 2024.

In response to your direct messages to Odiham Parish Council, we also now own two speed indicator devices (SIDs) which will be rotated on key routes through Odiham and North Warnborough. The locations are approved by Hampshire County Council but there is an opportunity to add more, subject to an assessment by HCC. The recorded data will be downloaded and high recorded speeds will be referred to the Police and can be used to campaign for change. Further details can be viewed HERE
As well as having the SIDs up and around the parish the Community speedwatch team will still be meeting each week to have a physical presence.
If you would like to support Odiham & North Warnborough Community Speedwatch and become a volunteer please email
