Sir, – Over the last few weeks the Darlington and Stockton Times letters page has had numerous letters regarding the Tour de France and some regarding the speed humps in Skeeby.
I have only one grouse to make regarding the Tour de France and that is it didn’t travel through the village of Skeeby because then you would have seen just how fast our local authority would have removed the unnecessary and unwanted speed humps. Because it seems that the local authority is more interested in the glory the Tour de France heaped on it, than the comfort and well-being of the local taxpayers.
Spectators from all over the globe would have gone away with a favourable impression of North Yorkshire but those that travelled through Skeeby would have wondered what fool thought the speed humps were necessary.
It’s about time that these ridiculous speed humps were removed and a more sensible approach to reducing speeding in the village was found and I would suggest a 20 mph speed limit was more suitable.
GORDON ELLIOTT White Canons Court, Richmond.
