A Paisley mother has made a desperate plea to the authorities to tackle a lethal road on her doorstep.Yvonne Simpson is calling on Renfrewshire Council to implement traffic calming measures on Ferguslie Park Avenue after a number of near catastrophic misses.Yvonne has launched a petition demanding problems with speeding be resolved, arguing her daughter Bobbi, who has mobility problems, has become a prisoner in her own home.Yvonne said: “This plea is deeply personal and urgent.

My daughter, who struggles with mobility problems, has on more than one occasion nearly been hit by speeding drivers."Ferguslie Park Avenue, our home, is not a race track and needs immediate remedial action.

An alarming number of residents, many of them disabled, struggle daily to cross this road.“We witness too often the devastating loss of pets, mostly cats, that get hit by fast-moving vehicles – a horrifying indication of what might happen to our vulnerable neighbours one day.

This is a residential area, and excessive speed has no place here.”Renfrewshire Live, the new free app dedicated to bringing you around the clock breaking news, is now available to download.Powered by the Paisley Daily Express, Renfrewshire Live is your go-to source for news, features and sport with live coverage provided direct to the app, seven days a week.The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.There is also a dedicated St Mirren section that will follow every kick of the ball with the Buddies.
