Lower Backway
I regularly see car drivers going far too quickly down Lower Backway, accelerating dangerously and driving without the care and caution required for a road with limited visibilty, narrow width, without pavements and which is regularly used by children and young people as a route to and from school, dog walkers, cyclists, walkers, residents at Sexey’s hospital etc. I regularly find myself having to ask people to slow down and consider pedestrians and cyclists using the road. The same is true of Higher Backway.
Please encourage drivers to not park on the cobbled entrance to the stepping stones on Lower Backway. A beautiful place where people can congregate and children can play frequently marred by by vans and cars for no better reason than convenience – to themselves of course, not us.
