LICKEY End has been blighted by the Highways Partner-ship in Bromsgrove's over the top and expensive "humps and ramps" traffic calming measures which are not working.

The last straw has been to paint a large section of the road a hideous red. I suggest the first task of the new parish council should be restoring the rural atmosphere by getting the obstacles removed as soon as possible - along with the paint.

Fed up resident,
