TRAFFIC safety schemes could put Romanby, Northallerton, on "the road to decline", a parish councillor has warned.
Councillor Paul Law spoke out during a discussion on road safety plans drawn up for the proposed Barratt development in Ainderby Road.
"Speed humps and markings would put Romanby on the road to decline," he said.
"It would ruin the beautiful village you have here. I know from living in Middlesbrough how much these schemes can affect a place."
Councillor John Smith said: "When we request action, the county council comes up with speed humps and such but we must remember we instigated the whole question of speeding on Ainderby Road.
Coun Law said he would fight the installation of speed bumps "tooth and nail".
