READERS have had their say on problem areas in Barrow after a number of near misses outside schools. Councillor for Hindpool and cabinet member for Children s Services, Anne Burns has said changes need to be made before something more serious happens. John Eccles said: It s a problem right across the town! Also a few delivery drivers speeding up Crellin St which is one way! They also go wrong way down it to save two mins. It s only a matter of time before someone is injured or killed. There was a crash there the other week. I have a sweet shop on Crellin St and it worries me as we have kids coming to our shop.

A community group is taking steps to eliminate speeding and anti-social behaviour in Roosecote. After meeting with Cumbria police, Roosecote Community Hub is now planning to launch a community speed watch campaign. The group’s founder, Paul Griffiths said certain roads in the area have become renowned for speeding. He said: The residents highlighted three main areas of concern. Leece Lane, Rampside Road by the exits of North and South Row and Rampside Village. Rampside have had to buy their own slow down signs, so we hope with police support we can establish a community speed watch group of volunteers and that conversation started last night as we had a police officer join our meeting.
