Councillor Jon Gleeson, who represents the area, said: “This is downright reckless and irresponsible. We must look immediately to tackle the problem and crack down on drivers who choose to speed in a built up area such as this.
“I would urge speeding motorists to think about cutting down their speed. Getting to your destination a minute or two later makes more sense than risking knocking someone down.”
Almost 20,000 vehicles were recorded by a Speed Indicator Device placed on the road.
