Speed indicator device installed on busy Chorley road to deter racing

This project has been delivered through funding from Chorley Council, in partnership with Heskin Parish Council.

Councillor Arjun Singh who has been campaigning for the device says he is happy it has now been installed.

He said: “I’ve been proud to help bring it forward for our community.

“Early data from the device is already very encouraging, showing a noticeable reduction in vehicle speeds along Wood Lane.”

He added: “This is a positive step towards improving road safety and protecting residents.

“This is a step closer to having safer roads across our villages, and it’s great to see a community-led initiative already making a real difference.

“We will continue to monitor the data and provide further updates.”
