A disgruntled florist says a speed bump outside her business is causing such severe vibrations cracks are appearing in the walls above her shop.

 

Diane Hall, of Willow Floral Design in Royston, says delivery lorries, cars and buses all pass over the hump in Midland Road and it is taking its toll.

 

"I don't think the council took it into consideration when they put them down," Diane, 45 said.

 

"I put new coving in probably ten years ago and all the coving is cracked.

"When wagons come over too quickly and buses come over too fast and they drop off the end of the speed bump you can feel it upstairs," she said.

Royston Coun Graham Kyte, said a number of complaints had been received about the speed humps including from bus company Stagecoach who said they were damaging buses.

 

He said engineers at Barnsley Council have been asked to draw up traffic regulation orders so the humps can be removed.
