Rejected
20 signatures
What the petition asks
I would like a footpath put on Goostrey train station Bridge to allow families with young children and vulnerable adults to be able to access the train station safely.
It is currently extremely unsafe to access the train station going towards Crewe due to walking on the road and a blind corner.

I want the weeds removed and replaced with a footpath wide enough for a wheelchair or pushchair, allowing families with young children and vulnerable adults to access the train station safely. It is currently extremely unsafe to walk on the road, and there is a blind corner.
Why it was rejected
It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
