CONCERNED residents have renewed their calls for improved traffic calming measures after a police car was involved in a collision on Myddleton Lane, Winwick, over the weekend.

The police car is understood to have been involved in a collision with a local resident’s car as it was reversing onto the road.
No injuries were reported and no arrests were made.
Just prior to the collision local police had been carrying out speed checks on a stretch of the same road.

A spokesperson for Winwick and Hermitage Green Community Speed Watch said: “As a member of the community speed watch we continue to ask Warrington Borough Council for better traffic calming measures along this 20mph stretch.
“In the past two Speed Watch events, in just over an hour, 83 vehicles were witnessed travelling in excess of 30mph when the road is 20mph.

A Cheshire Police spokesman said: “At around 1.15 pm on Saturday 8 April a police car was involved in a collision with a white Nissan X-Trail on Myddleton Lane, Winwick.
There were no reports of any serious injuries and no arrests were made.

  1. I always go 20mph over the daft road humps!

    POLICE, ACTUALLY NEED TO STOP RESIDENTS OF THAT moaning ROAD TO FINE THEM FOR ACTUALLY PARKING THEIR CARS ON THE SPEED HUMPS!

    witch makes it hard for drivers to go over them and coming very close to cars coming the other way

    the worst offender of that is the first hump with a car permantly half on it just after the bridge heading north to winwick church
