Introduce road safety precautions for our children going to and from school

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

In the last 4 months there has been 3 school children struck by cars on woodlands crescent and we are requesting assistance in making sure our kids get to and from school safely.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This petition has been rejected because local road safety measure are a matter for local councils not the UK Government or Parliament.

If you have a concern about the situation in your local area you should consider contacting your local council.

Alternatively you could start a new petition calling on the UK Government to increase the funding it provides to council to improve road safety features near schools.
