Hawkeye58 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 2 wheels and 4, seem to be intent on creating as much noise as possible and travelling as quickly as possible Think it's about time for a speed camera, before someone gets hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean doing work. Over the past few years I've submitted so many reports to the police with clear evidence in photos and videos and sod all has been done, the scum are still at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geared Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 If the police aren't interested you need to start complaining to the local councillors and the police commissioner. Have them take your concerns to the Police, it usually gets a better response. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost everyone, from public to private seems to be under-resourced. But you make it work through what's called working harder. And most don't have option to increase their salary by 50% either through choice overtime. Sick of hearing this excuse for all their failings.

So the local residents should ignore the dangerous and illegal acts of the idiots? Do you seriously advocate moving house or not visiting relatives and friends living in the area? Why would you want to give the selfish, ignorant individuals a clear run to break the law in a residential area, the 30 mph limit is there for a reason? Anyone slightly less nimble, pushing a pram or with small children must dread crossing the road, there are long stretches without islands, therefore you are faced with two lanes to negotiate! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECCOnoob Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Whilst I appreciate the frustration some may have, I don't understand what more people expect the police to be doing. The road already has several speed humps along it. I have seen periodic monitoring by the mobile speed camera van on there and with exception of the very lower part near ecclesfield, most of the houses are actually offset on a separate road away from the main carriageway so hardly in any direct and immediate danger. Regardless of any arguments on funding and resourcing it's naive to think that police can be sat there 24/7 and also getting placement of a permanent speed camera has to meet a very high threshold from the highways authority based on actual accident statistics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
