Reconsider the nips for the a20 sidcup bypass crittals corner

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like you to reconsider the fines and penalties given for speeding on the a20 sidcup bypass. Inadequately signed and a 50mph sign still present between the new 40mph that have gone up since people have complained. Many people in the same situation and at risk of losing jobs etc
Unfortunately London transport went ahead and turned on the cameras prior to any consultation and knew that there was inadequate signage etc.
TfL had also said that they would not be issuing any fines until the signage had been improved.
None of this has happened and fines have been given. Many people are at risk of losing jobs etc in this cost of living crisis that we already have.we ask parliament to re look at this and do the right thing in not issuing the fines and points.
