AS a resident of Tockholes Road, Tockholes, I welcomed the introduction of the traffic calming measures.

Since the opening of the new bridge over the M65 motorway there have been four crashes on Pickup Brow alone and it was merely luck that there were no fatalities.

If one adheres to the speed limits the humps can be negotiated without too much discomfort, so, surely, if they prevent just one death they have to be worth some inconvenience.
