Pressure is growing for action on a dangerous road after a white van demolished bollards and a light pole on the central reservation only weeks after a pedestrian was killed.

Last week the Royal Borough's deputy mayor Cllr Colin Rayner used the last council meeting before this week's election to raise the issue of safety on Wraysbury’s roads following the death of pedestrian Syed Shiraz Haider Zaidi, 35 in a hit-and-run in Wraysbury Road in March.

The victim was a director of the Royal Grill restaurant in nearby Staines.

Mr Rayner, who stands down as a councillor this week, claimed he has tried unsuccessfully for years to persuade the council to contribute to more CCTV cameras and number plate recognition equipment on the road.

He said: “I have had to visit too many families who have lost loved ones in Wraysbury.”

He was supported at the meeting by Wraysbury residents, who say that cars approaching the Wraysbury Road from the M25 are failing to slow down with some cars and lorries speeding in excess of 60mph.

One villager who attended the meeting was world famous dermatologist Sujata Jolly who runs the Clinogen skin clinic in Old Windsor.

This week she revealed that there had been another accident on Saturday evening when the van speeding down the road headed for the M25 careered over the central reservation.

She said: "The residents helped clear debris that was left behind and replaced the bollards.

"Fortunately there was no-one crossing the road at the time otherwise who knows what would have happened.

"This central reservation is the only place to cross over as the footpath ends shortly afterwards. This speeding situation has to be sorted out and we do not want another fatality."

The Royal Borough's lead member for highways and deputy council leader Phill Bicknell told the Observer after last week's meeting that council officers had been investigating the situation in Wraysbury Road and that action would be taken.

He said: “There is a whole range of things we need to consider - this could include yellow lines to stop cars parking there, possible speed reductions, or extra cameras.

“I am very concerned and would be devastated if there were any more fatalities.”

A 19-year-old from East Malling, Kent remains under investigation following the fatal accident in March.
