'Death Trap' protest

Angry Eaton Bray neighbours were campaigning to overturn a council decision over the access to a proposed new development.

South Beds district councillors had given outline permission for Wallace Drive to be extended by up to 195 houses. But protesters said the road would be overburdened by traffic and would become a death trap if it was used as the access to the new homes.
