Dear editor,
I am continually horrified at the state of driving in Queen’s Park.
On Saturday (25 May), whilst I was driving to the 20 MPH limit across Queen’s Park, I was:
- continually beeped by a white van driving extremely close to me
- overtaken twice-once approaching the hump of the railway bridge and once in ford end road.
We desperately need speed cameras and a police presence. A lot of Bedford has these, but surprise, surprise, they are in the less multi-cultural areas… Queen’s Park needs to be treated like the rest of Bedford, not left to its own lawless devices.
There was an accident on the roundabout by the temple, I see multiple incidents on local social media pages of reckless driving and accidents. This is evidence enough, aside from my own experience, that something needs to be done.
I’ve lived here for over 20 years. I love the community, the diversity and the river. Please don’t leave it to idiots who have no self-control.
