PLANS to slow drivers down as they enter and leave Waterston have picked up speed, with the news of extra funding.

Neyland county councillor Paul Miller has shared proposals for new traffic calming measures into the village.

The plans, available to view here, are for speed tables at each entrance into Waterston, with the aim of forcing drivers to slow down.

"It is unacceptable that Waterston continues to be separated from any of their neighboring communities by dangerous roads and no provision for either pedestrians or cyclists," said Cllr Miller.

"I have been fighting with the Council for a number of years now to get them to implement a new pedestrian / cycle link to and from the village as well as to do something that will actually slow traffic through the village."

Last year, the Mercury reported that villagers in Waterston were so unhappy with the issue of speeding, they had started making their own speed limit signs.

Members of Waterston Speed Watch Committee said some drivers are travelling at up to 70mph through their village, despite it being a 30mph zone.
