Residents have called for action to slow down traffic in Collingwood Road.  Parents at Westbourne School raised their concerns at the regular meeting we have with the police.  They listed a number of accidents and near misses caused by speeding and careless driving.  They are also concerned about buses speeding along the road late at night.   As a result we have called a meeting between police, the traffic engineers and the bus company.

The meeting will be looking to ensure the problems are well understood and will look at a range of options including:

• better crossing faclities
• more effective speed humps
• any other solutions

These problems are not new, and residents have been consulted on a crossing proposal in the past, and have rejected it.  However the problem has got worse.
