I write in response to Jill Roeder's letter Residents Driven Mad By Noisy Road (News Shopper, November 9).

While I appreciate this must be annoying for the residents nearby, the bodge repair is in fact a danger to road users. To avoid the hump one has to swerve left towards a fence and wall and then quickly swerve right.

I travel down this road as much as three times a day and have already one shock absorber damaged from the height of this hump.

Before anyone starts to scream I drive too fast. I drive within the speed limits but this lump is a nuisance to road users and a danger.

It should be removed immediately before an accident happens. I suggest one way to correct this is for the residents to refuse to pay their council tax until the road is made good and safe or for anyone else like myself with damage to their vehicle to phone up the council and threaten them with legal action for the damage caused to their vehicle.

This is not a speed hump. They are uniform in size and height so both wheels mount them at the same time doing little or no damage to your vehicle but when you hit this lump at 30mph on one side of the vehicle only, it causes all the weight of the vehicle to be transferred to that side so busting your shock.

Come on Bromley Council, for crying out loud, sort this mess out! The residents and road users are suffering, you keep putting up our council tax but do nothing to improve services in fact just the opposite you are cutting services within the borough.
