Speed Cameras on Reg Mitch
Reported in Monday's Sentinel (23/02/09), that there will be a speed camera van on the raceway.
Says between the A500 and A50....No time or day reported, but will be this week!
RMW report
Great effort. I am sure if we all keep on raising awareness of this issue the council will react.

The resident interviews came
The resident interviews came across very well too.
bet the first thing that gets straightened out is the "reginald Mitchell" road sign.
A nice addition to that
A nice addition to that footage would have been the view from a car window leaving the estate. The drivers coming down don't appreciate the fact that we can see bugger all unless we encroach half way across the roundabout!
I'm going to get my video camera out
Good idea. I'll get my video camera out over the next few days and try and get some footage, and whack it on youtube. There's nothings to stop us adding to this and get keep the momentum going.
It's a bit of a nightmare mind you, so if anyone has a decent phone video camera or a youtube camera please get in touch.
Hmm, I don't know if that's
Hmm, I don't know if that's such a good idea, - it's bad enough getting out at the best of times, without trying to video it too - we can't risk losing WM - don't want you to be the 1st major accident on the roundabout, unless anyone's got a left hand drive car we can use to do it
On foot
Don't worry Janet I'll be on foot. I'll be hiding in the bushes
Thanks for thinking about me though.
BTW (by the way) does anyone in the bottom house read this site, as your places must see the worst of the traffic,
Matt
