Default Policing on the cheap?

I'm not sure what I think about this ... in the monthly circular from our MP:

Quote:
Volunteers wanted for new 20mph speed watch scheme

Residents who are concerned about drivers breaking 20mph speed limits in their roads are being invited to apply for a new speed watch scheme. Citizens living in streets that already have the lower speed limit can volunteer to form a DriveSafe group with their neighbours to encourage vehicles to slow down. Those taking part in the programme, will be trained to stand at the roadside and record details of speeding vehicles for sending advisory letters to the owners, with the aim of encouraging them to reduce their speed. All applicants must have the backing of ten other residents, including at least four people prepared to volunteer at the roadside. The groups will be asked to operate for 12 roadside sessions, starting in spring and ending in autumn 2022.
