Fair Oak residents could be called on to mount their own patrols armed with radar guns in a bid to slam the brakes on speeding motorists in the village.
Fed-up locals say they are prepared to gather evidence themselves by organising traffic patrols along Mortimers Lane to stop speeding traffic.
Spokesman Ted Simms of the Mortimers Lane Action Group told Fair Oak and Horton Heath Parish Council that in recent years the road had suffered an increase in traffic problems - especially heavy lorries going to and from the Fair Oak landfill site.
Parish councillors were told the group had come up with a series of proposals that could improve the situation. Parish councillors agreed to write a "strong" letter of support for the package of measures.
