Somerset Road residents fight speeding motorists using a
notorious rat run in Pensby.
Residents told Councillor Jacquie McKelvie about problems with
both the speed of traffic using Somerset Road and difficulties
caused by the way that some drivers park.
Jacquie said “I have taken residents suggestions to
council officers in the highways department. The
officers tell me some of the options could make matters
worse, or are not possible for other reasons. For
example, making the road one-way could lead to an
increase in traffic speed. I am also told that council
do not think the road is a high enough priority for
speed-humps or other calming measures, due to the lack
of accidents that cause injury”.
It would seem the only option with any chance of being
implemented would be to block the road off in the middle. |
