This time last year

Margaret Ferrier MP called on South Lanarkshire Council to bring in traffic calming measures on Greenlees Road.

The Rutherglen and Hamilton West MP was speaking as it emerged council chiefs admitted that one in six drivers were travelling well above the speed limit to a resident five years ago.

Documents obtained by the Reformer showed 15 per cent of drivers were exceeding 41mph on the northbound lane and 37mph going south.

The figures came to light just two weeks after a car was flipped on to its roof while travelling on the road.
