I wholeheartedly agree with local residents who advocate imposing a 20mph speed limit on local roads.
Last year, I was attending a funeral at the Welsh Chapel on Willow Tree Road. As I stepped into the road a vehicle approached at an alarming speed.
The driver slammed on his brakes and came to a halt leaving skid marks along the road for 15 metres.
It could easily have been my funeral.
Railway Street in Altrincham certainly needs a speed control system as drivers race between traffic lights.
Let’s hope that the appropriate authorities address these problems as soon as possible. I am a pedestrian but I also drive a car.
