Mrs Carr said: 'There is not a week goes by without someone being involved in a collision trying to exit the estate.

'Last week it was a neighbours brother in-law in his mini bus that transports children with special needs to and from school.

'Fortunately there we no children on-board, only the vehicles were damaged.
