Install speed-bumps in Tweedholm Avenue in Walkerburn
Rejected
18 signatures
What the petition asks
The lack of speed bumps means drivers can go down the road as fast as they want. Cats, dogs and people have all been hit on this street and most recently my cat was killed and left on the road by an inconsiderate driver. Speed bumps would reduce the likeliness of this happening again
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for setting speed limits on local roads. This is something that your local council could look at.
