What the petition asks
Osborne Road is a very busy road, used as a cut through, and despite the traffic calming measures, vehicles continue to travel at high speed. It has become an extremely dangerous place for children going into and out of school, and is a matter of time before a serious incident occurs.
It is a matter of time before a serious incident occurs, hence why I am starting this petition as a mother of 3 children at the school.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Safety on local roads is the responsibility of your local council.
You could raise your issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:
