Congestion in Saffron Walden

We are two students studying Citizenship GCSE. As part of our coursework, we are taking Active Citizenship action on a issue that we would like to have an influence on. We have investigated the negative effect that the congestion has on Saffron Walden.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The maintenance and safety of local roads is the responsibility of your local council.

You can find out which local authority is responsible using a postcode and this website: https://www.gov.uk/request-speed-limit-change

You could raise this 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:
