Has anyone ever petitioned for speed cameras on Wightman Road? Only a couple of months ago outside our house we woke up to the pavement ripped up and four posts knocked down.
Today a car crashed into our parked car on Wightman Road. Their car flipped and caught fire and ours is a write off. Luckily no one was injured as i dread to think what might have happened if anybody had been on the pavement or us getting in or out of our car.
Just wondered if this has been brought up before as i've seen many a car driving too fast down this long road.

Was that the white van skewed across the road opposite the Greek church ?
That was the car that caused it though, not mine. Mine was just parked and got smashed into a tree.
You have my sympathies. The same thing happened to my car a few years ago.
I live in a quiet road, about five years ago my car was catapulted onto the pavement outside my house, although the budget was restricted, I managed to get SLOW signs painted in the road. I would suggest getting a list of all accidents in Wightman Road in the last two years (including the one a few weeks ago and any subsequent hospitalisations) as evidence of the need for traffic calming measures, you might get a road signs with a flashing LED ring and 30 in the middle.
A few months after the SID ( flashing speed indicator ) was put in place I did a video record of the number of times it was triggered. Approximately 50% of the vehicles passing it triggered it, showing that they were exceeding the limit.
Scofflaws don't take any notice of signs.
