abolish the school zone with limited access

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

abolish the school zone restricted access in front of the school in oldhill street causing cars to make 3 point turns and causing danger to kids and pedestrians as well as making more congestion and pollution on the road
Since they have implemented it on oldhill it has caused congestion and near misses of car crashes and accidents. 99% of the road users are against it and would rather have a one way system 24 hours rather then restricted access. the heavy handedness and ticketing cars that fail to observe the new sign (which is high up and not noticed) as well as habit is indicating that all the council wants is money that is generated from the tickets issued. there are also business on this road that has lost.
