RUNNING RED LIGHTS AT WHITEBIRK

Motorists have been urged to drive more carefully at Whitebirk roundabout following a number of near misses causes by drivers running through red lights.

Cllr Ken Moss said, "This is not purely a Rishton problem by any means but I have had quite a few calls recently saying that people have narrowly avoided being hit by another car trying to sneak through on red. I have witnessed a couple of pretty bad smashes at Whitebirk from sheer recklessness, I would urge those drivers to obey the traffic lights before someone else gets hurt."
