POLICE have been cracking down on speeding on a major road in a Herefordshire village.

Peterstow Parish Council, north of Ross-on-Wye on the A49 has highlighted the dangerousness of the trunk road with West Mercia Police saying officers are feeding back to councillors.

RELATED NEWS:

With police using a speed gun to find people flouting the 40mph speed limit on Thursday (December 9), the parish council had already agreed in March to buy a £4,260 speed indicator device as part of the crackdown.

The signs are designed to make drivers aware of their speed.

OTHER NEWS:

In September, parish council minutes said an email had been received about the safety of the pavement on the A49.

The concern resulted from overgrown hedges – which have since been cut by Highways England – as well as speeding, particularly by lorries.
