Villagers in Calverton fear it's only a matter of time before a child is 'wiped out' because of speeding on a 'catastrophic' road. 'Boy racers' have been blamed for reaching speeds of up to 60mph in Park Road, which runs past The William Lee Memorial Park which is also home to Calverton Village Hall and Calverton Skate Park.
Because of the excessive speeding on the 30mph stretch, people in the village fear an accident is waiting to happen when children cross the road to get to the park. Retired Dave Prince, 71, issued a warning.
He said: "It’s not just night-time, it can be during the day. There’s motorbikes, some going 50 or 60 [mph] and cars. Some kids come off the park and some of them don’t look, they can be wiped out easily.
