Furious residents living on a busy Mapperley road have expressed concern over drivers "tearing up and down the road." Porchester Road is a long stretch of road that connects the Mapperley suburb to Nottingham and to Gedling, existing between both.
Around 2,283 metres long, or roughly 1.4 miles, once at the top drivers can access the city to the left or towns within Gedling, such as Arnold, to the right. It should come as a given, then, that thousands of cars travel up and down Porchester Road on a daily basis - and the post-work rush hour can be a bit of a nightmare for drivers.
Yet, residents say they are far more concerned at night-time, when speeding drivers "tear up the roads." Those living next to the road say they often see motorists speeding some way over the 30mph limit and are worried an accident could take place at any time.
