Speeding traffic make road too dangerous for police!
As I commented in these pages a few weeks ago, traffic speeding along Malthouse Lane in Church Eaton, is causing problems for local residents. On their behalf I wrote to the Chief Constable at Staffordshire Police and was pleased to get a letter in reply saying my request for officers to carry out speed checks on the lane had been passed to the local area commander.
A few days ago I got a telephone call from one of the police constables responsible for policing this area. He told me a copy of my request had finally found its way into his hands and he had visited the road and guess what, he thought it was too dangerous for anyone to carry out speed checks as there was no safe place where they could stand!
I will certainly be using this as ammunition with the County Council’s Highways Department to get something done!
