It was disclosed at last night's Shalfleet Parish Council meeting that NANSAG (Ningwood and Newbridge Safety Action Group) is having talks with IWC and Island Roads to introduce new speed limits and road layouts. NANSAG is Chaired by Mr Roger Stables, whose wife, Shirley, stood unsuccessfully for a seat on the Parish Council in October. It is understood that the other member of NANSAG is Cllr Helena Hewston, Vice-Chair of Shalfleet Parish Council.
According to the information embedded below, NANSAG had been given correspondence from the IWC addressed to the parish councils and have come up with their own ideas, seemingly without authorisation by the Shalfleet Parish Council and without any public consultation.
NANSAG is also responsible for running the 'Speedwatch' scheme, with members of the public issued with radar traps having authority to access the Police National Computer. Motorists found 'speeding' by the NANSAG members are reported to the police by inputting the car reg, date, time, colour and model, place and alleged speed, directly into to the Police National Computer. Further details of the scheme can be seen here on the Unofficial Shalfleet Parish Blog
Below: Letter from Mr Roger Stables Chairman NANSAG dated 7th October 2014 The letter states that "we can provide background and data to support each item" but this was not made available to the meeting or requested by the Parish Council.
The Parish Council voted unanimously to approve this activity and asked the Clerk to send the document to the IWC with the PC's approval.
