Happiness in West Bridgford at attempts to slow down cars but still concern about 'rat runs'

Residents in West Bridgford think the speed limit changes down residential roads are having a positive effect, but want to see more done. Roads like Mabel Grove and Abbey Road had the speed limit changed from 30mph to 20mph, but are still described as 'rat runs' for motorists driving through the area.

Geoff Jenkins, has lived in the area for 30 years, told Nottinghamshire Live about the speeding issues on Albert Road and Mabel Grove even after the limits changed in January 2016.

The 73-year-old said: “I can’t remember when it was - I know the issue with the 20mph limit is that some are advisory. We do have a problem with speeding. It's a rat run. We do get quite a lot of traffic.
