I AM writing to express my concerns about Brackley Street, Farnworth and the increasing number of cars speeding up and down the pedestrian zone.

This has been a problem for many years and has become a lot worse of late.

I was walking with my three-year-old son at 7.30pm on June 13, towards ASDA, and experienced a dangerous driver speeding up the street.

I had to shout at my son who was running up the middle of the pedestrian path and we moved out of the way.

This is now becoming such a regular occurrence, feel the problem needs highlighting and these dangerous drivers need naming and shaming.

What is the point of paying thousands of pounds to make the area a pedestrian zone when idiot drivers like these endanger lives?

My mother is disabled and can not walk very far, and there is no way that she would drive up that area, and she would have a good reason to.

There is a perfectly good car park a couple of metres away.
