MOTORISTS travelling through Neasham, near Darlington, are being slowed by traffic-calming measures.
Darlington Borough Council is spending £22,000 to stop people driving at high speeds through the village.
New traffic gateways will narrow the roads and introduce rights of way along stretches often used by speeding drivers. The work started this week and is expected to take five weeks to complete.
Roads into the village will be affected as well as those running through the centre.
Nick Wallace, council cabinet member for highways and transport said: "Road safety is a priority for the council."
