A constituent has written to me to highlight the issue of speeding on Northumberland Avenue. He reports that cars are racing up and down the road doing speeds of up to 60mph and he fears for the safety of his young daughter and other families. This is of grave concern as this is a highly residential area with a park, a nursery and several schools along its length.
I have been concerned about road safety at this location for quite a while and raised the scandal of the speed camera with no film in it , and road safety in general with RBC back in January. Y
ou may remember Cllr RIcky Duveen and I pressed RBC to do more to hold members of the Thames Valley Safer Roads Partnership to account in relation to cameras etc in the Borough.
Anyway, I have written to RBC officers and asked them for an urgent update on what measures are being considered to tackle speeding on this road and I will post the response here when I have it.
