One resident, David Jermy, has witnessed 13 crashes along the road in just 10 weeks due to cars “not adjusting their speed to the conditions.”
Mr Jermy, who moved to the area in April, says he is “certain” that more fatalities will occur unless the Highways Agency enforce a 40mph speed limit or install speed cameras.
