There are concerns that lorry and tractor drivers have been responsible for anti-social driving in a Shropshire village. A recent Edgmond Parish Council meeting said the drivers had been using the village as a short-cut. It also said "irresponsible parking" was exacerbating the issue, causing visibility concerns and obstructions. The parish council said a speed indicator device would be installed on the B5062, and that police would carry out surveys to identify problem areas.
