Speeding menaces face curbs

Measures to clamp down on motorists speeding along a Black Country road are finally set to be hammered out.

Residents in Vicarage Road, Amblecote, have long called for action to stop cars hurtling past their homes.

Householders say there have been a series of accidents along the route, especially on a bend near Stourbridge's former Corbett Hospital. They fear lives are being put at risk as drivers continue to ignore the 30mph limit, and say that previous measures have not dealt with the problem.

Highways officers at Dudley Council are now set to begin talks to discuss new ways to tackle the menace.
