The bumps are awful, they are right in by all the major bus stops, causing traffic to grind to a halt rather than keep traffic flowing,they are wrecking my car and my back, and whilst the traffic has eased up, it is only because other people are seeking alternative routes to Pinehurst Road and Beech Ave - speed cameras would have been much better here. A few speed bumps is fine, but the council have gone silly with the amount they have put in.

Easy way to tackle these speed bumps; Don't go to Pinehurst.

I also try and avoid Beech Avenue because of them, which at times is impossible. One or two, yes, OK, but one after another is too many. Vans just straddle them so it doesn't stop them and some cars vear into the middle of the road to reduce the bump, which defeats the object completely. Surely a speed camera or the Police out in force to catch motorists speeding will soon stop the people causing all the problems. Once again, it's the few who ruin it for everyone.

There a brialliant idea, there obviously there for a reason and if they were a problem the residents would be the first to complain.

Whatever the right and wrongs are they do reduce speed. But what I do know is that I've had a really bad back since the council put them in last year and I do all I can to avoid the area for that reason. It doesn't do my car any good at all either. I could ask 'I pay my car taxes - and I've got to pay for a chiropractor?'. Surely there's a better way?
