Residents fear drivers are putting lives at risk

Police are urging motorists to keep to the 30mph limit through Winster amid residents’ fears that speeding drivers are putting lives at risk.

On November 21 officers parked on Wensley Road to monitor drivers’ speeds and were extremely concerned with their findings.

Out of the 53 vehicles clocked in a 30 minute period, nine were seen driving over 35 mph.
