The Petition of the people of Addington and Forestdale declares that the current highways arrangements at the pinch point at Featherbed Lane pose a danger to pedestrians and road users; notes that narrow pavements put pedestrians at risk of collision with wider commercial vehicles; and is concerned that current practice in Croydon on providing road safety measures requires fatalities and injuries before action is taken.
The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to take steps to secure the agreement of Croydon Council to improve safety at the Featherbed Lane pinch point by slowing traffic.
And the Petitioners remain, etc,

The emails I get from people terrified to walk down Featherbed Lane are just as exhausting as they are gut-wrenching. I am still pushing for a response from the council even though the silence from them feels like a brick wall. We are not backing down until somebody takes responsibility for this dangerous stretch of road.

Reaching this level of support has been a heavy and humbling experience. I am worn out from the struggle but seeing this level of backing reminds me why we cannot let the silence from the council continue.

Fix this now before someone dies. Croydon council always waits for a tragedy to happen first.
Way too narrow for cars and people to share. Needs speed bumps or cameras ASAP.

I walk this everyday with my kids and it is honestly terrifying when a bus goes by. someone is going to get hit eventually.
