Cairnyran Petition Against Speeding

CAIRNRYAN RESIDENTS, angry at speeding through their village, have signed a petition demanding action.

And on Monday, Galloway MP Peter Duncan went to Stranraer police station to hand it over to Chief Inspector Mike Leslie.

The petition, signed by the majority of people living in the Cairn, calls on the police and Dumfries and Galloway Council, to clamp down on the problem. Mr Duncan said:

"Speeding traffic is a real quality of life issue for many of my constituents but Cairnryan village is one of those communities most severely affected.

" The danger to local people is, sadly, increasing and a spate of accidents over the years has done nothing to deter those who continue to break the law".
