Calls for urgent action on speed near local park and School

Recent data provided from a speed activation sign in Lickey End showed a vehicle travelling in excess of 100mph.

This sign was funded by local county councillor Josh Robinson after concerns from local residents about speed.

Josh commented, ‘For years I have been asking the county council to come up with a solution to speeding but the most we have been provided is a bit of paint, a small barrier and some signs.’

With the works the county council is doing along the A38 the concerns from local residents and parents have been getting louder.

Cllr Rob Hunter added, ‘This speed is concerning especially outside a local playground but it is not a one off, the data from the sign shows over recent years we have show nearly 70,000 vehicles have clocked speed in excess of 40mph, with the speed limit set at 30mph.

Josh and Rob are calling on Worcestershire County Council to finally commit to urgent action here to make the road safer.
