Neighbours in Thornton Heath have joined forces to stop speeding cars causing havoc in their street.

Pawsons Road residents say there is an accident every month and want traffic calming measures introduced.

In the latest incident on March 2, a speeding car slammed into Jane Hackett's Mercedes Benz, pushing her neighbour Roger Wagner's Peugeot into his own brick wall. Her partner's vehicle was damaged in January when a speeding car crashed into it and wrote-off a neighbour's vehicle.

Pawsons Road pub landlord Mike Barton, said: "Cars coming from Queen's Road are travelling at 70 and 80 mph.

We need speed cameras, a one way-street or the street should be blocked off at that end."

Croydon Council's highways and traffic assistant director Chris Martin said he was prepared to meet with residents and would consider placing speed cushions on Pawsons Road.
