Annie feels that the cars are travelling too fast, and following the death of her small cat after a collision with a car, she makes a separate request for a speed camera to be installed.
Findings showed:
4x slight injury collisions on Elm Tree Fields in the last 3 years. Annie thinks this is unacceptable and that it will only get worse with increased traffic.

GH contacted the Road Safety Partnership to request data regarding current collision statistics for Elm Tree Fields.
The relatively low number and severity of collisions on Elm Tree Fields combined with the findings of a short speed survey, mean that speed enforcement activity using cameras is not justified.
Undeterred, Annie
joins forces with her
neighbours and her
Son and Daughter-in-law
to launch a community
speed campaign.
