How can we slow things down along Newton Road?


Given that Newton Road is quite narrow, has some sharp bends and there are cars parked on the road, you'd think traffic passing through wouldn't just floor it. But they do - and the bent and dented metal rails at the corner of Middlemoor are proof.
Residents point out that the narrow pavement nearby at Bar Lane makes it tricky if you want to take children into the village itself, either to the shop or the school.
Each house has stickers on the bins making the "slow down" plea to traffic on refuse collection days. Maybe we have to think about some other methods - traffic calming and electronic hazard "kill your speed" lights for example.
