I always do between 15 & 20 outside the leisure centre for that reason. Always get people overtaking though

<< Id say controll is required in these situations, unless there is a direct threat and no other option, I bang on my flamer kit.

As Bruce lee once said, "When the opponent expands, I contract, when he contracts, I expand." >>

your wisdom is very good

rossyboy1 I hear what your saying. I guess you have a point re the children crossing etc and like IainG I am always alert when approaching the leisure centre especially around the zebra crossing.

<< reference the speed limits on the beach-

Dont want to sound like a copper, but If you increase the limit to 40, then everyone will do 50.

I saw a kid get knocked over at the beach when there were cars everywhere for a football match. He went flying through the air and landed on the tarmac. Luckily he got up and ran to the verge, apparantly relatively unhurt. If the car had been doing 50, we all know what would have happened.

A limit of 30 beside the leisure centre would mean everyone doing 40 and that is a recipe for disaster. I agree that you cant and dont drive at 15, but I think most would agree that you tend to keep it at 30 max past there, just in case the powers that be are watching >>

I think the limits need to be realistic (the 15 mph is not realistic and the police have said it is unenforcable...). Almost everyone ignores the limits as they are.

The problem with the beach is that at quiet times a 30 limit then NSL would be appropriate but when the football is on or a sunny Sunday 15 then 30 mph limits are about right.

What about the plans to close the boulevard at night due to 'boy racers'? Am I the only one to realise they will move elsewhere (Union St., Justice Mill lane would be my bet)...

Ali I would have to agree with your comment about the bouley bashers moving on. Lets face it how many years have people been going down the beach. We're not talking 5 years here, we're talking 20 years, 30 years, maybe even more. If you bought a flat down there and knew about the problem then that's your fault. When they built new flats and people moved in did they expect everyone to stop going down there now that it's supposed to be some executive development

So why didn't they fix the problem before they built the new flats?

Answer: because the council is too feckin greedy, planning permission is a joke. Basically if you are a famous builder then you make up the rules yourself.
