I AM very disappointed to read the letter from Mr Straight in Wednesday's Echo.

My colleagues and I have, for several years, been trying with the support of local residents, to get speed calming measures in the vicinity of Malvern Road and St Walburga’s school.

This is now happening and while we appreciate that there is some considerable inconvenience for the residents at the moment this is only temporary.

However, what we cannot change is the attitude of drivers who continue to drive at inappropriate speeds and park in a very inconsiderate manner.

While many things may be blamed on councils, bad driving and inconsiderate behaviour cannot.
