The government actually listened and committed to the road works so the A75 finally looks like it is getting the fixes we fought for. It feels like a massive weight has lifted off my chest mostly because so many of you jumped on board to demand change for this stretch …

PLEASE NOTE: THIS PETITION HAS NOW ENDED (26/04/12) AND IS BEING PRESENTED TO THE SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT. SEE WWW.DGSTANDARD.CO.UK FOR UPDATES.


We, the undersigned, call on the Scottish Government to commit to a start date for work on the A75 improvement scheme on the 2.2 mile stretch of trunk road from Hardgrove to Kinmount, near Annan, which in two decades has claimed the lives of three people, including an 18-day-old baby in March 2012.

I honestly did not think this would gain this much steam but here we are and it is just wild to see so many people finally paying attention to this road. It really hits me because thinking about that baby and the others lost makes me feel like we are finally moving the needle on something that should have been fixed ages ago.

Fix the A75. It is a death trap and everyone knows it. Why are they waiting so long?

My heart breaks for that poor baby. The government needs to stop ignoring us and do the work.

Too many people have died on this road. Enough is enough. We need real action now before another family has to go through this.

About time something was done about this road. It is a total disgrace that it has been left like this for so long.

Use that dangerous stretch every single day for work and it scares me to death. Please fix it.
