On a daily basis Eastcotes, as well as Middlecotes and Westcotes are used as rat runs for cars, vans and lorries to get to Torrington Avenue. The drivers use these streets to avoid the Sainsburys junction and the A45.
Eastcotes is also used by local car business on the A45 to access their premises and test drive the cars at speed.
The speed at which vehicles drive down these street is ridiculous and it is only a mater of time before there is a serious collisions in the area. There have been many occasion where pedestrians and other road users have narrowly avoided being struck by a speeding vehicle, which could ultimately have caused serious injury if not death.
We need to put a stop to people driving along these streets at speed and treating them as a race track.
