Neil said: “I appreciate the concerns people in Lubenham have over speeding, and it was really useful to meet with key local stakeholders to discuss this problem further.

"I’ll be following up with Leicestershire County Council and Harborough Police to make the case for measures to tackle the speeding problems that Lubenham is currently facing.

"I’d like to thank all of the pupils at the school who wrote to me on this issue also to share their views and concerns, which I will be taking forward on their behalf.”
