What the petition asks
Most months, there are lorries hitting the railway bridge on Wrecclesham Hill. This is not only dangerous but it inevitably causes major disruption to hundreds of people. Furthermore, it costs Network Rail money to repair the bridge. There needs to be some kind of restitution for drivers.
Therefore, we call upon Her Majesty’s government to either fine HGV drivers and/or charge them for the repair of the rail bridge. This is just unacceptable and it is time someone acted.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, if you'd like it to be a specific offence for a driver to hit a railway bridge, you could start a new petition asking for that.
