A mum is calling on drivers to “think of children” and slow down along her road.

Carol Ellis, 31, has lived along Kings Road, in Halstead, for two years and is concerned about the speed people travel down the road.

She said although the problem as always been bad, the incident last week when a Hyundai Coupe smashed into a van parked on a driveway and then totalled a garden wall has made her more concerned.

“People come flying down this road doing much more than 30 miles per hour,” she said.
