Local people in Bentley, Hampshire are concerned that recent road accidents at the village crossroads will soon result in death or serious injury.

Put simply, someone is likely to die if the appropriate authority do not introduce road calming measures and ensure that overgrown trees do not limit the view of key roadside signage.

Several accidents have occurred in the same spot, with the latest one involving a car squashing a child’s bike against a recently repaired brick wall, knocked down only three months ago in a separate road ‘accident’.
