“After an investigation, this department regrets to inform that speed humps in Ramona Road are not warranted.
“An application was submitted last year August, an evaluation was conducted and two speed humps were warranted at the crèche on Alliance Road; however, the applicant had an intention to construct at their own cost as this application was part of a re-zoning application.
“Speed humps can only be constructed on Alliance Road at the crèche.”
