'Will it take somebody to die to get cameras on the road?'

Calls are stepped up to curb boy racers

- Kerry Ashdown

SPEEDING drivers are continuing to cause issues for people living near a 'street racing' hotspot.

Previous police crackdowns on boy racers in Reginald Mitchell Way has included issuing notices to seize cars and disperse people from areas where they are causing alarm or distress.

But speeding along the road remains a problem for neighbours, who spoke about their experiences at the latest Sandyford and Goldenhill Residents Association (SAGE) meeting.

One said: “It’s every single night - for about three months we had hardly any sleep. If there are lots of them I call 999 and I do regularly call the police.”

Another raised safety concerns about spectators at the side of the road. He said: “If one of them gets killed by a car that makes a mistake, will it take somebody to die to get cameras on the road? I would like to thank the police for turning up to Reginald Mitchell Way.
