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.

    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.
