I HAVE never felt the need to write to a newspaper before but I have finally realised that I need to have my say.

I live on Prenton Hall Road just down from St Stevens Church. During the years I have lived here I have slowly grown more and more concerned with the excess speeds on the road day and night.

I have spoken to police about it on the rare times that they speed check the road. 

The speeds are unbelievable from both motorbikes and cars.

And it doesn’t just happen now and again. If you stood outside my house for half an hour or so you would not believe it. 

There are many children and elderly people on this road and I worry that there will be a tragedy unless something is done.
