Speed bumps were installed on Dixon Street, in Wolverhampton, last month, and the works are due to be completed in May.

However, residents living on the street have raised concerns over the installation and placement of the speed bumps, and in particular a "random island", saying that it has just made the problem worse.

A resident who didn't want to be named said: "Whilst we support the idea of speed bumps due to the speeding, the installation has been a mess.

"The way that the speed bumps have been laid out on the road is ridiculous - it is causing more traffic issues.

"The way they are installed outside St Martin's church has caused major issues for both drivers and residents.
