Maybe there should be a Sutton wide action group.The Council install something to deter these road idiots or have more regular police patrols.
Over the last few weeks I have read of at least three seperate road crashes in the area

Good for these residents. We have a similar problem on Mulgrave Road, with cars speeding well in excess of the speed limit. On top of the blaring car stereos that come from some cars, the noise level is sometimes appalling.
