This road is unsafe
I recently wrote regarding some drivers flooring their accelerators along Cardinals in a bid to beat the one-way traffic lights that were in operation during the gas main work.
Since then on April 28, a car, for reasons unknown, has mounted the pavement, demolished both a lamp post and a front garden wall.

In this day and age of the popular saying ‘health and safety gone mad’, can someone please explain why it is still deemed acceptable from the Link Way junction of Cardinals Drive through to Church Way, that if two buses or a bus and a lorry meet, one of them bumps up onto the narrow footpath to enable the other to pass?
With regard to the speed – we are not talking 40mph, we’re talking 50mph-plus.
In a fairly narrow residential road the situation is becoming increasingly frightening and totally unacceptable to local residents.
