Obstruction attitude
Further to your comments on chamfered edge speed cushions, we run a Renault Espace 2.0 diesel W reg. Two years ago our estate was blighted with chamfered edge speed cushions, after which it was necessary to replace two front tyres with worn tread on the inside, and later a front anti-roll bar. How can I best register my objections to these killer cushions? The Local Authority simply ignores all complaints.

Many thanks for your support. After getting no response from tyre manufacturer we are now approaching tyre distributors. But at least a reader came up with an apt new name for speed cushions: “pot hills”. Maybe if www.potholes.co.uk and www.fixmystreeet.co.uk started recording pot hill damage as well as pothole damage, we might start getting rid of them.
