Poor Roads in Broughton Astley
As a lorry driver from Croft Quarry, I travel through Broughton Astley on a
regular basis. I have noticed the speed of cars is getting faster every day.
I travel through the village at the required speed which is 30 mph. I notice a lot
of cars intimidating and trying to force me to go faster before they finally
overtake me. As reported in the Lutterworth Mail a few months ago, more car
drivers who lived in the village were caught speeding by police speed traps, no
lorries were caught speeding as usual. Why are the lorry drivers who travel
through Broughton Astley, safely and quietly, being persecuted by a minority
of residents?

Re: Poor Roads Letter of 12 March
Going through the website my attention was caught by the letter regarding the   state of the roads in B/A. We live in Dunton Road and are actively seeking an improvement in the road surface but more importantly an enforcement of the 30 mph speed limit which the majority of drivers seem to ignore at present.
Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?

Re: Poor Roads Letter of 12 March
Paul,
as the roads through Broughton are quite poor in places I can thoroughly   recommend that you drive through the village as quickly as possible, about 60-70 mph will take out the smaller problems such as potholes...
At least that's what everybody else does!
Regards,
Tim (Resident)
[From the Webmaster: We had passed on Paul's concerns and here is the essence of the reply that arrived -Roads near the Red Admiral are being improved Autumn 2001. The road towards Leire will have to wait. Subject to routine safety inspections.]

Poor Roads
Hello. I'm writing to you to bring to your attention the state of the roads in Broughton Astley (B/A).
1. The main road through the village and in particular outside the Red Admiral public house. The road is littered with potholes, underfilling, over filling. I find it quite difficult to steer sometimes.
2. The road from the junction with Six Acres running through to the turn for Leire. Again this is littered with potholes, but mainly overfilling, causing the car to bounce all over the road.
I trust that you being Councillors for the village of B/A will get in touch with the relevant highways department and put my case across.
Yours hopefully, Paul Bayliss
