FED-UP with their Kendal estate being used as a rat-run and over-flow car park, residents of Rinkfield are campaigning for traffic calming.
More than 50 people living on Rinkfield and Burland Grove have signed a petition urging Cumbria County Council to take action before an accident occurs.
In a letter sent with the petition to the council's South Lakeland area committee, Rinkfield Residents Association chairman Tony Park explained motorists used the estate as a short-cut from Natland Road to Burton Road to avoid the roundabout at Romney Bridge.
His letter stated that the estate also gets clogged up with parked vehicles, from people visiting the leisure centre or post office, meaning a steady flow of traffic all day, every day.
In response to the petition from residents, Nick Raymond, county council area engineer for Barrow and South Lakeland, promised to organise a meeting with residents, highway officers and the local ward
members within the next two months.
