We have recently had another speed indicator installed in Black Notley approximately 200 yards from the one which is near the playing field.

Unfortunately it does not operate until the vehicle is exceeding 34mph.

We do not need it, what is really needed is for it and the other one to be replaced with active speed cameras.

I say this because early in the mornings when people are rushing off to work quite a few of them are travelling in excess of 40mph and more.

On more than one occasion I have left the village hall car park travelling in the Witham direction with not a vehicle in sight and been overtaken by some idiot doing in excess of 40mph before I have reached the Vine public house, these are the people who cause accidents and disappear.
