Road Watch back on track The future of the Road Watch program in Scugog appears bright, a different story from only a few months ago when its sole remaining member announced her resignation, threatening to leave the traffic monitoring initiative on an indefinite hiatus. Cst. Sue Kelly, the Durham police officer in charge of the local program, has received lots of positive feedback from eager volunteers looking to donate their time to monitor aggressive and dangerous driving behaviours on local roadways.
