THE owner of a hugely-popular indoor soft play area in Barrow believes it is only a matter of time before a child is hit by a car outside his business.

Little Subs owner Rick Gwilliam is calling on motorists using the car park and accessing the Royal Mail sorting office to be more considerate of pedestrians and children crossing the access road next to the soft play area's entrance.

Mr Gwilliam, who opened Little Subs in 2013, says there has been a number of near misses where toddlers have almost been hit by a car. Up to 1,000 children a week visit Little Subs, a figure which can double during the school holidays.

Do you think there should be some speed bumps outside Little Subs?
