AS the owners of the property featured in your paper last Friday, we would like to thank friends and neighbours for their kindness and support.

We commend the emergency services for their swift and efficient response. Also to thank councillor Tom Wells for his continuing effort on our and the communities behalf.

We were pleased to read in your report that this has prompted Worcestershire County Council to inspect the road again but are dismayed to find that you say this may only result in further signs being erected. Surely the council realise that it will require more than this to stop the multitude of accidents occurring on this section of road.

Most happen within 30 minutes after the onset of rainfall. A mandatory 30 mph speed limit must be applied in place of the existing national speed limit on the approach to both Old Hills bends, also antiskid surfacing on the hill would indicate the sharpness of the turns and prevent drivers losing control of their vehicles under adverse conditions.

It will take many months and thousands of pounds to repair the damage to our property and our plea to the authorities is to take action now before more carnage and the inevitable fatalities happen.

Mr and Mrs Court, Old Hills, Callow End.
