...the police will do diddly squat. We have complained endlessly about people using Waldenshaw Rd as a drag strip when they use it as a rat run and the same with people driving the wrong way down Manor Mount. To date nothing...
Funnily enough, I noticed a couple of gentlemen of the constabulary standing at the corner of Waldenshaw Road/Manor Mount on the Sunday before last (discreetly behind a parked van). As anyone came down Manor Mount the wrong way they were being pulled over and spoken to. Since I was being a good law-abiding citizen I wasn't close enough to see whether fixed penalties were being issued, but I imagine they were (plus the cars could be checked for insurance etc etc etc).
Personally I think this is a good approach (and surely it's better than a camera).
