"After embarking on a concentrated study and gathering over six hours of data, they found that 40 per cent of the recorded cars were travelling above 30mph and 12 per cent were travelling above 40mph. They even picked up a top speed of 75mph. Mrs Miller said: One in ten people driving above 40 mph in a 30 zone. It's just sort of unimaginable really, but it talks to the wider problem that we've got with people not seeing speeding as a real crime."
"Residents of Siward Road and Godwin Road Becky Candy, who lives on Godwin Road, said: We've got lots of kids on both our roads, and animals and elderly people as well as crossings and blind spots. All it takes is one person out there and it's a serious accident. Describing living on the road as a nightmare, the Millers bought a speed gun in 2024 to provide their own evidence of speeding to the authorities."
Residents of Siward Road and Godwin Road near Bromley town centre have long complained about speeding. Concerns raised to Bromley Council in 2019 led to a 30mph speed-activated sign, which one in four drivers triggers. The Millers bought a speed gun in 2024 and collected over six hours of data. Their study found 40% of recorded vehicles exceeded 30mph, 12% exceeded 40mph, and a top speed of 75mph was recorded. Mr Miller has submitted more than 1,000 reports to the police, often recording at school pick-up and drop-off times. Neighbours cite children, elderly residents, animals, crossings and blind spots as safety risks.
