over in the collision, rasp­ berry canes and gooseberry bushes were demolished, Mrs Baxter’s greenhouse was pushed off its base and the_ glass was smashed before the vehicle eventual­ ly came to a stop a t a 45° angle on top of the garden wall. :


• Luckily no one was hurt


in the incident, which hap­ pened at around 1-20 p.m..


Adrian Baxter was at his


mum’s house at the time of the accident. “At around two o’clock I


heard a bang and at first l ; thought it was shelves in, next door’s shed, but then the bell rang and it was the


' driver who explained he had ■ trashed the greenhouse. I


rang the police and the ambulance service, but the driver and passenger were fine and had escaped with- out injury.” Coun. Joyce Holgate


said: “Mrs Baxter has been complaining to me about the speed of traffic coming^ round that corner and she"^ kept saying to me th a t


there was going to be an accident in the area. I have asked the police to monitor the situation to prevent a similar situation occuring in the future.” Co u n .,Ho lg ate added


th a t after 13 years’ cam­ paigning work has started to install a zebra crossing on Mitton Road - not far from the scene of Sunday’s collision. She said: “I have wanted


this safety measure to be introduced for years and years to try and slow the traffic down and I welcome it.” She said money for cross­


ing had been made available through the Safer Routes to School budget.
