Lib Dem Councillors inspect the site of the missing speed table

The traffic calming measures installed in Clark Road have been broadly welcomed by residents who have noticed the reduction in traffic speeds in the area. However one of the speed tables in the original plan was not installed with the rest of the project because of drainage problems. Thanks to the work of Councillor Claire Darke, the remaining speed table will soon be installed near to the entrance to St Jude's School. Commenting on the proposed work Councillor Darke said, "The speed table outside the school was probably the most important one in the whole road. Clearly traffic needs to be forced to drive as slowly as possible when passing St Jude's School."
