“They’re losing control coming round the corner. It’s the speed people are going that is the problem. They will go into my house one day, especially now we have no wall to protect it.”
With a three-year-old daughter to look after, Miss Molyneux is considering how much longer she can live in the house for, unless action is taken.
She said: “It’s making me want to move, because at the end of the day I’m a single mum and I need to think about my daughter. We are risking our own lives just being here.

“It is only a matter of time a driver is killed, or a pedestrian walking past is hit at some speed.”
