Accrington Web - View Single Post - How Can We Slow Down Cars In Built Up Areas?

We down in Clayton at the Enfield Residents committee have been trying to get something done about the Atlas St rat run. We have suggested all manners of options but it is apparently up to your good local councillors at County Hall in Preston to decide what to do. Anything that costs more than a fiver & forget it. Speed humps are regulated by EEc directives & should stand no more than 100mm high & be no closer than 25 metres from a water course(drain etc). I know, you show me one that meets this reg, it seems councils are happier passing claims for damage on to their insurers that meet legal requirements. Then again, a fatal road accident costs around £250,000 plus to deal with but apparently councillors don't do GCSE Maths or they won't get elected, I presume.
