Introduce a 20mphr speed zone & double yellow lines around Huntingtree Primary

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

In March 2017 I was involved in a collision on Huntingtree Road due to a speeding vehicle and other cars parked dangerously. The impact caused my car to be written off, but thankfully nobody was seriously hurt.

Hayley Green is home to Huntingtree Primary & Lutley Primary, both are in very close proximity. There is currently no 20mphr speed limit or double yellows on Huntingtree Rd nor the surrounding streets, & people attending the schools are often seen speeding, & parking dangerously. Often cars are parked opposite T-junctions, on grass verges & on corners. Children are coming to & from school surrounded by chaos, how long must we wait for these critical life saving restrictions to be put in place?

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
