We demand speed cameras to be positioned on Chestnut Hill between upper and lower junctions at Lonsties to permanently calm the traffic to a legal speed on Chestnut Hill in both directions. Mr Greenwell stated that the Police had acknowledged speeding problems and a permanent solution was required for the safety of local residents. In the past 12 months, accidents had required the attendance of the air ambulance, ambulances and there had been road closures. There were gaps in the hedgerows and debris on the road due to accidents. All residents had signed the petition in addition to 22 who had signed the online petition. Mr Greenwell showed a short video to the Committee of residents of the area which outlined the problems they were encountering such as: The pavements were narrow which made it dangerous as residents had to walk on the road It was too dangerous to walk and cycle in a location deemed to be a tourist area There had been near misses at both ends of Lonsti Elderly residents had difficulties entering and exiting their driveways due to the speed of traffic on the road Traffic was too fast for pensioners to cross the road to the bus stop The Local Member, Councillor Lysser addressed the Committee, stating that for 7 years, the Town Council had tried to secure a resolution to the speeding problem which had included the Police assessing speeding.
