Drivers slammed over speeding on residential streets

because it was going too fast to stop.

“We have gotten away with it without anyone being badly hurt so far but it’s inevitable — someone will end up very badly hurt if nothing is done.

“It’s going to take a child getting badly hurt — that’s my main concern. The situation dangerous.”

Mr Coleman said: “I’m not naive. I don’t believe that we’re going to be able to eradicate speeding as a problem but we can certainly improve things.

“One of the main things we’re is ridiculous and hearing is that the 20mph limits that have been brought in don’t seem to be working. If you bring them in, then you need to enforce them.

“If people started getting caught for speeding then it would help to improve the problem.

“It would act as a deterrent. I think the majority of people in the area would back a more hands-on approach to tackling speeding.”

Mr Davidson said he would be willing to try most traffic calming measures to help slow drivers but speed bumps seemed the most suitable to him.

“I’ve phoned the council to request something be done”, the shop assistant said. “And they say they would but funding is the issue.

“I want to see them put speed bumps on all the streets around here — then you can drive quickly at your own risk, rather than someone’s child.”
