Drivers must be 'forced to slow'
Road work sign
Many people want a permanent solution to speeding traffic
A St Helier politician believes drivers using a particular road in the town should be made to slow down as a matter of urgency.

His comments arise from concerns about the safety of pedestrians who walk up La Pouquelaye Hill.

Temporary measures to stop traffic from speeding on the one-way section of the hill have been in place for some time.

But many people living nearby want a more permanent solution - such as a tarred pavement.

Among the temporary measures in place to force traffic to slow down are flower boxes which narrow the road.

St Helier Deputy Ben Fox believes installing a permanent solution should happen quickly.

He claims the parish now has sufficient funds for the work to take place.
