EXTRA cars from two new detached homes planned for a hill in Jump will tip a growing traffic hazard 'over the edge', says a resident.
Grandfather of four James Clegg says speeding and inconsiderate parking is already a serious risk for pupils of Jump Primary School and pedestrians on Roebuck Hill.
He said: "The plans to build two more detached houses next to the hill will tip things over the edge. "Children are already walking and cycling down the hill totally unaware of vehicles coming in and out."

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
