Villagers want more measures to stop speeding in village CAMPAIGNERS fighting speeding and dangerous traffic through Cowling have been given a glimmer of hope after the area’s police and crime commissioner said she had asked for a fresh look at fixed cameras. Julia Mulligan, North Yorkshire’s police, fire, and crime commissioner, said she had a lot of sympathy with places like Cowling that were blighted by high levels of speeding traffic. And she said she had pressed road safety partnership 95 Alive to re-visit the policy on the use of fixed speed cameras in North Yorkshire. “I have a lot of sympathy for Cowling and their traffic problems. The problem is there is a high volume of traffic going through the village and when the authorities look at the data the average suggests there is not a problem,” she said.
