A BURNTWOOD councillor has called for action to tackle “alarming” speeding on a local route.

Cllr Andrew Clissett’s comments come after he joined local representatives on Stables Way in the town.

Despite being a 30mph zone, the Reform UK councillor for Burntwood North at Staffordshire County Council, said many drivers were treating it “like a half-mile drag strip”.

He said:

> “I’ve been out on Stables Way with the the Safer Roads Partnership and Staffordshire Police following the concerns many residents have raised with me about speeding.  
>  
> “And I’ll be frank – what we saw at the roadside was alarming. Some drivers are still treating this road like a half-mile drag strip and not a 30mph route where people live, walk and drive every day.”

Cllr Clissett said he was keen to see long-term solutions to the issue of speeding on the stretch of road.

> “Speed indicator devices installed here previously, but they were later removed. However, the issue is that the concern hasn’t gone away.  
>  
> “We’re still seeing mobile speed enforcement returning to the same locations along this stretch, which tells you everything you need to know about how persistent the issue is.  
>  
> “The ‘Think Deer’ signs are there for a reason and some motorists continue to ignore the warnings.  
>  
> “This road needs more than occasional enforcement. We need a proper, joined-up approach that actually changes driver behaviour, better speed reminders, improved signage and longer-term measures that make the limit stick.”
