‘Vigilante’ speed bumpers may face charges

Criminal charges could be brought against Cardenden residents who installed a speed bump outside a local playpark.

Drivers travelling on the town’s Whitehall Drive said that they had been shocked by the “aggressive” measure, which was put in place last weekend.

The bump has since been removed but Fife Council has warned re-instating it could prompt legal action.

Ian Smith, lead professional for traffic management at the council, said: “This is an illegal obstruction of the road and one which could lead to criminal charges.”
