Reduce the speed limit outside Woodsetton School in Sedgley and build a crossing

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Woodsetton School in Sedgley is based upon one of the busiest main roads into the village itself. Cars whizz past without care or consideration for the children or anyone else in the built up area. All the other schools in the area also have a crossing to ensure the children get home safely!
A special needs school should have the same level of road safety as any other school in the area!

Why it was rejected

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

Local councils are responsible for setting speed limits on local roads and putting in crossings, so you should contact your council about the road outside this school. The following link may be of assistance:
