What the petition asks
On Thursday 1st December 2016 our family dog George, was run over whilst enjoying a walk with my sister and her dog paddy, by a 4x4. My dog has had major surgery to repair multiple injuries. Regular users of the road are elderly residents, children riding horses and bikes and dogs with there owners.
I have heard many complaints of cars driving far too fast up this lane that is no wider than a vehicle.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
