I was surprised to see criticism of this. Certainly in David's Road and Manor Mount we need whatever help we can get. Currently there are no humps of any kind and it's a free-for-all.

People drive down from the top of Manor Mount illegally, often speeding, which is dangerous in itself, and particularly so when they reach the intersection with Waldenshaw Road because people turn right into Manor Mount without expecting anyone to hurtle towards them from the left. Of course they should look anyway, but...

They also speed through Waldenshaw, Manor Mount and David's Road (to avoid the lights on the London Road), which is a nasty accident waiting to happen.

And they also take the corner at the bottom of Manor Mount into David's Road as if they're at a racetrack. Not good for anyone crossing David's Road if they make the corner, even worse for the parked cars if they don't. We've had so many accidents there it's become routine.

I think the council plans should help with all these problems, so I must say I'm all for them.
