CIVIC chiefs that warned that speeding drivers could cause a fatal accident.

Members of Fordingbridge Town Council highlighted the issue of motorists flouting the speed limit as they drove through the main shopping area.

Cllr Nobby Goldsmith said: “People have been screaming up and down the road.

"The other day I was standing at the crossing and a lady came by and didn’t stop - just wasn’t interested at all.

“Something needs to be done because someone is going to get killed."

Cllr Edward Hale added: "It might be worth following up to see if there is any interest in a Fordingbridge Speedwatch group."

The council agreed to find out if the Speedwatch scheme was an option.
