There was an accident Saturday night (25/1/20), about 1am, with a car speeding down Lordship Lane opposite the church on the corner of Goodrich Road. A Peugeot was shunted about 5 yards. I am aware of at least two other similar accidents between the library and Townley Road in the last year, do any Forum users know of similar incidents? Starting to wonder if we need to actively do something.

The only thing that would work would be to fine speeding cars a LOT of money and slap on the points- the 20mph is another joke...

Yes, I know what you mean about the Goodrich turning. I don?t think there are any camera?s on the stretch from the library to say the school at the bottom of the hill. Lordship and Townley also has its moments and close misses. Anyone know of any accidents with parked cars?

Another one happened outside my house just before Christmas. He hit 2 parked cars (huge damage to at least one of these). The guy was apparently 5 x over the drink drive limit and driving without insurance. It?s the second crash to happen right outside my house in a year - someone flipped their car last year. They can?t put speed bumps as it?s en route to Kings but cameras would be great!
There is I feel a need for a pedestrian crossing on Lordship Lane near Milo Road. Lots of people including school kids and older people cross there. The traffic comes very fast up the hill from the Townley Road Junction towards the library.

    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard. 
    • So of you're in a coffee shop and the barista is rude to you you wouldn't complain as long as you had received your coffee? 
    • OP, you've got to relax a bit. Multidrop delivery is a total nightmare and the delivery drivers are woefully underpaid. We as a society all want to order stuff online and for it to be delivered quickly and cheaply. The square gets circled by allowing companies like Evri to have sham contracting arrangements. None of this is your fault OP but the delivery person is just trying to get through their workload as quickly as possible. Delivery is not, historically, an industry with large profit margins. “The only way it can be profitable is if you underpay the person who is the courier, by not treating them as an employee, by not paying taxes, by not paying their insurance, by refusing to give them sick pay or cover them if they have an accident or train them,” says Prof Annabelle Gawer, the director of the Centre of Digital Economy at the University of Surrey. “That is where the ‘savings’ are coming from.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/mar/01/the-hidden-life-of-a-courier-13-hour-days-rude-customers-and-big-dreams
