Heartbreak as puppy hit by car and dies on busy Nottingham road

And, with a primary school located on the road and multiple families living nearby, she is calling on something to be done about the speed cars travel down the road.

The speed limit in Chingford Road is 20mph - however, neighbours say cars use the route as a 'rat run', racing up and down at much higher speeds.
