I know this was a very serious but where do all the police come from,when ever I ring to report something there is little or no interest from our bobbies. Also if they staked themselves in and around this area many drivers would be caught breaking all kinds of laws and maybe accidents of this kind can be avoided.This road is notorious for speeding even with speed bumps
