Aerodrome Road junction is an accident waiting to happen

Have your say!

Dear Editor,

I see the police are now monitoring speed in the village, in the hope of 'educating' motorists about the dangers of speeding.

This might work for locals, but the main offenders are bound to be those that see the village as a short cut.

The junction at Aerodrome Road is an accident waiting to happen, and should have a 'stop' sign.

HGV restrictions, a 20mph limit, and less obvious mobile speed cameras would make the village a safer place.

And for those that feel this is another attack on the poor motorist (of whom I am one), then there is a perfectly good by-pass.

Come into the village by all means, but don't use it as a fast rat-run.

John

Speeding drivers also come from Hawkinge

Dear Ed,

Whilst I agree with correspondent John concerning speeding, I am afraid that he is somewhat mislead about the "main offenders". These people are not always those from outside the village, but comprise a lot of those who should know much better. Why I followed one just the other morning; I was approaching the traffic lights (at about 20 mph as there were a lot of mothers and children about) when a car not only pulled out in front of me causing me to make an emergency application of my brakes to avoid a collision, but this driver then went on a proceeded to smash the speed limit.

Grumpy regards,

Lazarus
