Did anyone see the overturned car on Nicol Rd. yesterday? I'm keen to find out what happened.
 
I've seen  alot of dangerously fast driving along there. Given the proximity of schools & leisure centre, lots of kids use the footpaths (mostly) along this road. Plus, it's not very well lit.
 
I don't want to see speed bumps or cameras installed there - or anywhere else in the village for that matter, but some calming measures may be necessary.

Like an active police presence you mean?

Nicol road was part of the speed gun exercise under taken recently by kids. and the NAG? I cant remember where i have read it...
 
It showed that speeding wasnt as big an issue on Nicol road as it was on others.

Speed indicator devices are actually used by some idiots to see how fast they can fly past them! I know 1  individual in particular.
