Traffic calming measures have been installed in Wilnecote following the involvement of local Conservative Party councillor and Mayor of Tamworth Cllr Tina Clements.

Cllr Clements said, “I was contacted last year by a resident of Tamar Road after an accident left a car embedded into his garden.  He was both upset and relieved that nobody was seriously injured by the crash and he asked if some sort of traffic calming could be installed on Tamar Road.

“I immediately contacted Staffordshire County Council to ask action to be taken slow the traffic down and after months of discussion and investigation by the County Council it is pleasing to see a SID (Speed Indication Display) has been put in place.  Hopefully this see as reduction in the speed of vehicles but I will continue to monitor the traffic in this area and, if necessary, press both Staffordshire County Council and Staffordshire Police for further action.”
