Uttoxeter’s MP, Kate Griffiths, is listening to local residents who have raised issues over speeding in New Road, Uttoxeter despite the 30 mile an hour limit. Kate met with concerned residents as well as East Staffordshire Borough Councillor, Sue McGary and County Councillor, David Brookes to discuss the matter.
Local resident Caroline Carr, who is campaigning to raise awareness of this issue, has set up a Facebook group called ‘New Road, Uttoxeter Acting Now’ and encourages other residents to join. Caroline also invited Kate to New Road to see for herself the problem and what can be done to ensure drivers are deterred from speeding and enforcement is improved.
Kate Griffiths MP said, “I was pleased to recently visit New Road in Uttoxeter to discuss the matter of traffic speeds. I will be working alongside local councillors and residents as well as enforcement authorities to ensure this issue is resolved.”
“Speeding of course isn’t just an issue exclusive to New Road so if residents have any other streets they would like to raise with me then please do get in touch with my office.”
Caroline Carr said, “On behalf of myself and the residents of New Road we would like to thank MP Kate Griffiths for taking time out of her busy schedule to witness for herself and listen to some of the residents about our concerns on the issues of the speeding along the New Road.
“County Cllr. David Brookes has also been working hard with ourselves and together we are campaigning for urgent long-term speeding calm measures to be put in place.”
