What the petition asks

I want to start a petition for the government to make a law stating that every school in the country has to have a line of bollards outside their school. Green lane primary school a school in Sutton, placed a line of pencil shaped bollard outside their school. And this inspired me to make a change.
After being part of a community who have unfortunately seen the heartbreaking effect dangerous driving has had on everyone and seeing the many cases that has happened outside schools I knew that something needed to be done to protect other children and parents from the same tragic circumstances. Schools are meant to be a safe place for students to go and walking to and from school is part of the school routine.
