Wow. Quite a debate here. Ok, the road WAS a cul de sac, however they opened up the end, added 40 odd more houses and created a through road. The new part has speed bumps, ours doesn’t, yet, which may be worth mentioning to the council. Traffic calming could be the option here.
My issue is with the parents, not the kids. But there is a park literally 30 seconds walk away with all a kid needs or wants.
I think the parents seem to think/treat the road as a cul de sac rather than what it is now, a BUSY through road. As well as cars we have other extra traffic such as delivery vehicles, taxis etc.
I feel the parents should take responsibility for the kids, teach them road sense, not allow them to play in a busy road, but play on the park where it is safe. Shirley the kids would feel better riding on grass rather than road? I know I do. :wink:
I am not a miserable sod, rather the opposite. My feelings are of concern for the kids safety and anger at idle/can’t be arsed parents.
