Make Fratton train station safe.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Fratton Station is unsafe on Saturdays, with the location being so close to Fratton Park, the home of Portsmouth Football Club, on match days the congestion on the platform is so bad its only a matter of time before there is a serious accident. there needs to be safer access on/exiting the station.

The entrance, leads directly onto the main road Goldsmith Av, there needs to be investment to build a bridge from the station to the industrial estate, this would ease the traffic going to the station and keep the que to get onto the station off the main road.

Why it was rejected

It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
