Key quotes from impacted residents

“All depends on where the speed bumps are placed.”

“I agree we need the humps especially if it was one way the whole way down the road. I’m not a fan due to health issues however if they have to be implemented I don’t feel 2 will be enough of a deterrent to some drivers who would use them as a challenge.”

“Do we need if going to be one way?”
