I AGREE with Mr Brown's comments about speeding in Settle (Someone will lose their life – speed kills, Craven Herald letters, August 15). We have the same problems in Cowling. Many drivers treat the stretch of road between Malsis and Cowling like Brands Hatch, and ignore the speed limits.

I was once driving into Cowling at 30 mph when someone decided that I wasn't driving quick enough and overtook me at great speed. My concern wasn't myself, but the young children who were playing in the village. If one of them had stepped into the road they wouldn't be here today.

I have mentioned to local police officers that something needs doing whether it be speed bumps or speed cameras. Let's hope it's not a tragic road accident that makes people take notice.
