Cllr Cox said of the issue: “They have long been plagued by traffic travelling at high speed.

“It frustrates me to see this, especially as these areas border both sheltered accommodation and a large park.

“Over the last few weeks there have been a number of near misses.

“So I contacted police and asked if they could target this area.”

PCSO Becky Miller said that speeding checks were regularly being carried out in the area.

She reminded motorists: “Remember these are both 20mph zones so watch your speed.”
