Help remove the Bollards on Gosforth High Street, Newcastle upon Tyne NE3

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Bollards are aesthetically repulsive and make Gosforth look run down.
Bollards slow down traffic & contribute to air pollution.
Bollards block Emergency vehicles - cars use nearby roads as rat runs
Bollards are inconsistent & encourage jay walking
Bollards are extremely unpopular in surveys.

Newcastle City Council is a labour council of 50 alluded by 20 Lib Dem counsellors who just get voted in and do nothing for this area. Three Lib Dem candidates have no reason to be Democratic in Gosforth

Why it was rejected
