Furness councillors are appealing for people’s help to tackle speeding along stretches of the area’s coast road.
Caroline Airey and Ben Cooper said they have received several complaints about speeding on the A5087.
In a short survey sent out to those living in the villages along the road, people are being asked to help identify the worst stretches of the road for speeding, and how they think this could be addressed.
From reducing the current speed limits to establishing local community speed-watch groups or installing vehicle-activated signs which light up at speeding drivers, all views are welcome, and all options are on the table.
Coun Cooper said: “We have heard from many people in recent weeks, voicing their concerns about speeding on the coast road.
“There is a real concern that the problem is only going to get worse if nothing is done. We want to find out where the worst stretches are for speeding, and what residents want to see to help tackle this. Together, working with our local villages and communities, we can make a real difference towards making our roads safer.”
The move to tackle speeding comes after the Conservative councillors partnered with Furness MP Simon Fell, to roll out the Twenty’s Plenty campaign across the villages of Low and Mid Furness in recent weeks.
Residents are invited to make their views heard and share their concerns about speeding on the road, and across Furness, by either writing to Mr Fell at his constituency office, or via email at [email protected] or to email Cllr Cooper at [email protected]
