What the petition asks
Encourage our local council to act upon concerns of residents to install a safe crossing area in Heol-y-Goedwig Porthcawl.
Lots of local parents and carers use this beautiful area, it is on a long stretch of road in which cars speed along. Due to it being a popular area it also means cars park both sides of the road making crossing tricky and dangerous. Myself and lots of others have witnessed many near misses due to this road and would like to see a safe crossing put in.
