CROYDON Council has hit back over claims it is ignoring a problem road.
Last week residents in Grange Road, Thornton Heath, told the Advertiser they feared someone would die on the treacherous street before any traffic calming measures were put in place.
But a council spokesman said: "We have been concerned about the speed of traffic on Grange Road and have introduced a number of traffic calming measures to encourage motorists to comply with the speed limit.
"It is disappointing that some motorists still persist in speeding through this junction and the council believes that the only practicable solution to this problem will be through enforcement, which lies with the police, and we are working with traffic officers to carry out additional speed enforcement.
"In addition, the Thornton Heath safer neighbourhood team has carried out their RoadWatch project."
