A WORRIED man said it is only a matter of time before someone is killed on a corner where his daughter’s car was damaged in a collision.

Glenn Roger, who lives near the junction of Kings Road and Newquay Crescent, in Harrow, said: “The bend in Kings Road has a real history of accidents, and since we tried to do something, we have had three vehicles parked outside our front door completely written off.

“I don’t see the point of going back to the council – someone will have to be killed before they do something.”

The most recent incident was at 9.30pm on Sunday, May 11.

“Another one came speeding round the corner and smashed my daughter’s car up,” he said.

“The car was going so fast that it pushed my daughter’s car three feet up on to the grass verge, and ripped the tyres off.”

A few years ago Mr Roger got together a group of people who expressed their concerns about the situation.

The 49-year-old lecturer said: “I want the council to take notice. It is only a matter of time before someone dies.

“My fear is that it will be a member of my family.”

Mr Roger rang the police after the latest incident but was told that because no one had been hurt, no officers would attend.

In the past few years both his neighbour’s car and one belonging to friends visiting for a New Year’s Eve party have been written off.

He said: “One car ended up on its roof. How no one was killed in that accident, I have no idea.

“That one was a few months back.

“Motorists regularly come round the corner on two wheels.

“At some time around Christmas, one car came round that corner so fast it took out brand new bollards outside the doctor’s surgery.

“The driver got out and was lying – completely drunk – in the middle of the road.

“How can we ever get the council to take notice of this dangerous corner if the police won’t attend?”

A council spokeswoman told the Observer: “In recent years, this stretch of road has had safety measures installed, including speed bumps and speed-activated signs. Both have led to a marked improvement in road safety, and the number of accidents resulting in injuries is low.

“However, we regularly review road safety to see whether further measures need to be taken and we will monitor this area.”
