MORE than 90 speeding motorists were clocked by Buckley volunteers during April, it has been confirmed.
Volunteers from the Buckley Community Speedwatch group undertook six roadside sessions throughout the month, with a total of 34 hour work overall.
During that time, 92 speeders were recorded - 88 of which went forward for letters to be sent asking them to be better drivers.

The two highest speeds of the month were a motorcycle travelling at 52 miles per hour on Raikes Lane (a 30 mile per hour zone) and 51 miles per hour in a 40 zone at Padeswood.
Cllr Woolley said: "My message to drivers is very simple - the lower the speed, the lesser the impact and the more awareness of hazards."
During the previous month, the team recorded a total of 100 speeders, of which 93 were referred for letters.
At that point, Cllr Woolley implored people not to waste money on avoidable speeding penalties - particularly with the rising cost of living.
He said: "My plea to people is to take note and don't end up with a formal speeding ticket.

"My concern is, we know the cost of living is going up - petrol, electric, gas, everything.
"We don't want to see people punished - everyone needs every penny they have."
