Calls for the speed limit on a busy Malvern road to be reduced to help clamp down on anti-social drivers have been led by residents.
People who live on or near Townsend Way in Malvern are campaigning for speed restrictions to be implemented along the road.
As it stands the speed limit on Townsend Way is 40mph, but residents want there to be a 30mph limit put in place in one section.
Aside from restricting the speed limit, residents have also called for a crackdown on anti-social car drivers who race their cars on Townsend Way late at night.
Cllr Beverley Nielsen, representing Malvern Langland residents on Worcestershire County Council said: “Earlier this week, I was pleased to meet with Matt Wall and other local councillors and to work with them to promote the issues raised.
“With a good number of residents having signed the petition so far, it’s clear there are some strong feelings on this issue.
“All councillors discussed a 30mph speed limit throughout Townsend Way and noted the challenges many vehicles which have accelerated through the 40mph section of the road face in slowing down sufficiently on approaching the Mansfield and Sandys Roads roundabout, often making it intimidating for other drivers and pedestrians alike.
“Given the poor visibility for vehicles exiting from Mansfield Road, this is causing additional problems.
“Councillors are calling for a series of measures from County Highways including rumble strips on approaching this roundabout, repainting the white lines at this junction and others, improving the visibility at the Mansfield Road junction together with a traffic priority sign at the chicane, and the active involvement of the Neighbourhood Police team in monitoring this situation.”
