What the petition asks
Kingsdown in Bridgwater is a new estate that is also used as a bypass!
Cars and lorries are constantly using it as a racing track!
There is a local school on this road and so many cars have lost control and mounted the kerbs where people walk.

We need to slow these drivers down before someone is seriously hurt or worse!
