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.

You could contact local councillors about this issue. You can use this page to find out who the local councillors are and how to contact them:
