“One morning a driver who came out of Bonnaughton Road was completely oblivious to this but I had a witness and got his license plate and he has been reported to the police. ”

Angela Canturk said: “I live on Ledi Drive and see this type of driving all the time, especially in the morning. Cars speed up and down with no regard that it’s a residential street. I can’t let my children walk to and from school on their own because of the way drivers behave.”

Sarah Pirrie said: “One day a jeep type car ran the red light and nearly hit my pram. I was shouting but she stopped and as soon as she realised it was the green man she sped off. I didn’t have time to get a reg plate number as I was in shock - she just missed my wee boy.”

Stuart Currie said Ledi Drive needs speed bumps and Anne McCusker wants them on Bonnaughton Road too.

“Anyone who wants to report problems with drivers behaviors should contact the police on 101.”
