Speed issues

I totally agree with Andy Marsden’s concerns regarding the trucks speed along Taylor Street. Our family live near the  Taylormade Community Centre where a childcare preschool is situated, and I have brought my concern to the council numerous times.

I fear a child or parent is in danger of death or injury in ridiculously fast moving traffic. The district council appear not the slightest bit interested. No speed signs, slow down bumps, or centre road lines. All they are interested in is saving costs.

My next move is to contact the police and petition residents. for some action.
