A MCDONALD'S milkshake was 'thrown at a cyclist' in Christchurch this week during a spate of offences, residents say.

Those living in the Somerford area have been sharing their stories of problems with drivers who race up and down the A337 between Highcliffe and Christchurch.

In one incident which reportedly happened on Tuesday night, a cyclist riding in Bure Lane was hit with a milkshake.

A friend of the victim said: "This had an impact speed of nearly 60 miles per hour, so it was potentially lethal."

Other residents living in the area say they are suffering a number of problems as a result of vandals.

One said eggs had been thrown at the windows of people living along the stretch. Another said: "So many cars race up and down Bure Lane at 11pm."
