I have learned today that 12 out of the 24 speed bumps/cushions installed earlier this year in the Berrylands Road / Harvest Lane area of Moreton have not been installed to the right specification, with some too high, some too low and incredibly some the wrong shape!

Last night I was out with the Action Team knocking on doors in Sandbrook Lane and roads off.
