A school speedwatch campaign saw drivers caught out on Birmingham Road, Great Barr, on Friday.

A total of 78 motorists were clocked going above the speed limit on the dual carriageway which has seen a number of serious accidents in recent years and will be sent warning notices.

The safety drive has been led by Great Barr schools St Margaret's Primary and the Q3 Academy.

A petition was launched by residents living on Birmingham Road who insisted enough was enough after a spate of crashes on the main road which leads to the M6.
