Install speed bumps at Saltram Meadow roads

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government and Plymouth City Council to install speed bumps and traffic calming measures on the main roads around Saltram Meadow, Plymouth. Speeding cars are putting children, families, and pets at risk. Action is needed now before another tragedy happens.

Residents of Saltram Meadow, Plymouth, are calling for urgent action to improve road safety by installing speed bumps on the main roads. Speeding vehicles are putting children, families, and pets at risk every day. On 26th April 2026 at 10:00pm, my cat was sadly run over and killed, showing how dangerous these roads have become. We ask Plymouth City Council to act now before a more serious tragedy happens and make our estate safer for everyone.
