Susan Warne, who lives in Winforton on the A438, wants to warn drivers to monitor their speed be- fore an accident happens.

Mrs Warne said one vehi- cle was clocked travelling 85 miles per hour through the residential area, lead- ing to her writing Winfor— ton Whizzers. It states: “We’d like to cross the road, perhaps to use the pub. “We shouldn’t have to run across just to get our grub! “When exiting our drive- ways our sight lines are obscured. “Why does the traffic fly at us, cannot their speed be cured? “The worst thing is the thoughtlessness, when walking in the rain they’re splashing through the puddles and drench- ing us again. “So make a resolution to keep within the law, for we don’t want a road traffic accident and all that blood and gore!” Mrs Warne has lived in By Ben Goddard 01432 845882 bgottfiherefordtimescom Twitter @HTnewsroom the village for 14 years but says that an increased use of internet shopping has led to more lorries travel- ling on the main road. She said: “For years and years drivers have been coming through our village with a lack of awareness. “With the rise of inter- net shopping and 24-hour deliveries there is more traffic on the road and it’s more hazardous. “We have had one or two accidents lately in the Vil- lage on top of the fatal col- lisions at Willersley and Whitney-on-Wye. “If people came through at a calmer speed they could then appreciate the 12 black and white listed buildings in the village and the lovely walk we have to the river. “Rather than complain- ing we hoped a poem would make people take more care of our little commu- nity. “I recently saw a lady driving while cleaning her teeth and its while being distracted when driving that accidents happen."
