Second Albert Drive Accident in Less Than A Month

Albert Drive in Sheerwater, Woking, was closed in both directions today when a car overturned between Bateson Way and Devonshire Avenue. The accident was attended by police, fire engines and air ambulance which landed on Murray Green. Traffic was diverted into Bateson Way and Bunyard Drive. We await further details from Surrey Police.

This occurred less than a month from when a school girl was hit by a car in Albert Drive leading to more concern from residents about speed control measures being needed. The community is showing support for the family of the girl concerned with a collection in the Londis shop on Dartmouth Avenue. 

On Thursday 13 October police attended Albert Drive with speed camera equipment and dealt with motorists who were found to be over the 30mph limit. Historically Albert Drive, has raised concern amongst residents regarding speed of cars with several attempts made with traffic calming measures to try and improve the situation, over recent years however, residents report that this issue needs to be revisited to stop further accidents.
