The number of residents reporting near misses on this stretch of road remains high. I am currently compiling your accounts to present to the local highway department for formal review.

The response to this petition has been overwhelming and reflects the genuine concern residents feel regarding the safety of our roads. This momentum confirms that the urgency of our request is understood by many in our community.

Im in fear for my daughter's life when we take the pony back to the field. Drivers need to slow down on those blind corners before someone is killed
I had a crash here in 1997 I was very lucky to get away with serious whip lash and bang on the head
Road is far too narrow to be a 60mph road. It needs a lower speed limit & average speed cameras.
Leading horses across this road is very dangerous has been sevral times when fast cars come round the blind corner and have to brake really quickly , even worse with young spooky horses .
Seriously dangerous road!!! I have reported speeding cars and nothing is done. There are kids on ponies crossing on this road. There should be speed bumps at the very least on the bend before Church Farm. It’s a miracle no one has been killed!
Needs really looking at before someone is killed...

Terrifying road to cycle on and absolutely ridiculous to have national speed limit on it. It needs reduced before someone is killed.
