National Avenue speeding

John Fareham and John Abbott are working with the police to ensure that speeding is curbed on National Avenue.

We have received complaints from local residents, in particular ones we have reason to believe know what they’re talking about, to the effect that cars and commercial vehicles are bending the speed limit during daylight hours and breaking it wide open in the evenings.  We have therefore passed on these complaints to the police with a request that they take them seriously.  As and when they reply, we will of course pass on their findings and, if applicable, their chosen course of action to local residents.  It could of course be that those causing trouble are not local residents, but rather those using National Avenue and Perth Street as a rat run.  Whichever is the case, speeding can under certain circumstances be dangerous and irresponsible; speed limits are, for the most part, there for a reason and we intend to see that they are kept to.
