MOTORISTS are showing their support for the Lancashire Evening Telegraph's Grane Road campaign by displaying our Stop the Carnage car stickers.

Thousands of the distinctive stickers have been handed out across East Lancashire and drivers are only too keen to back the campaign by displaying them prominently in their car windows.

Stickers are available from the Pack Horse, Grey Mare, Duke of Wellington and Holden Arms pubs in Grane Road, as well as from the Grane and Belthorn Residents' Associations.

Since the campaign was started a month ago, county councillors have agreed to cut the speed limit on the road and install traffic-calming measures.

The Highways Agency has agreed to remove signs which direct traffic across the treacherous hilltop route.

And police say the road's accident count has dropped thanks to the increased awareness of the dangers of the road.
