'Maniacs' and 'BMW drivers' blamed for speeding issues near Ponteland care home

A councillor has singled out BMW drivers after concerned residents called for something to be done about speeding issues on a residential road in Ponteland.

Northumberland County Council received a petition signed by 183 residents of the town's Jameson Estate calling for "urgent action" to address speeding between the former Northumbria Police headquarters site and Grange Lea Care Home on North Road.

Officers told members of the Castle Morpeth Local Area Committee that speed surveys had been carried out since the petition was handed in and confirmed that there was a speeding issue there.
