Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Birchington once use to be a safe place to drive around but now everyone is using PARK LANE as a race track.
We are all in agreement to start this petition AGAIN for you to finally see action needs to be taken
There is a PRIMARY SCHOOL located on park lane and not only is there a school but homes that are full with loving familys and older people and pets.
There has been since 2012. 16 accidents involving small children 2 very badly hurt, coming out and being hit.

What if that child or pet was yours
How would you react and feel knowing someone has hurt them and just drove off and left them.
with a few humps in the road will save more lives, less damage to vehicles, and protects the children.
