The council has been petitioned previously on this matter and
has not acted and the situation has become worse since the last
petition in 2022.
At peak times it is impossible to cross safely due to the amount of
traffic on the roads at this time and the excessive speed of the
drivers.
On street parking in the are is making it increasingly difficult
for wheelchair users and women with prams to cross as cars park in
front of the dropped kerbs making it unsafe to cross and causes
visibility issues for both the wheel chair user wanting to cross
and the drivers using Flash Lane.
On a recent visit to the park with my 4 year old niece, I witnessed
3 near misses within the 2 hours we were there. One of these
incidents included a woman try to cross with a pram and a small
child. Vehicles repeatedly travel down this road at speeds that are
clearly in excess of the speed limits and it is soon going to have
tragic consequences. On and evening cars race down this road at
speeds that are clearly double the speed limit and due to the
terrible traffic management and increased number of cars in the
village the problem is only getting worse
This petition runs from 03/06/2024 to 15/07/2024.
