Grovehurst Road needs a Pedestrian crossing with a 30MPH speed limit
My daughter who is 4 years old (elloise baldock) got run down on this road on monday 29th march 2010. She had to have reconstructive surgery to her head. The road speed limit is 40mph way too fast and no where safely to cross!!
This campaign has the backing of East kent gazette, meridian news , sittingbourne messenger , councillors -Gordon henderson - sue gent and brenda simpson.
30mph done this to my daughter 40mph would have killed her instantly!!!!

Seeing this momentum grow brings me right back to the day of the accident and reminds me why I cannot stop fighting for this crossing. Knowing that so many of you see the danger on Grovehurst Road gives me hope that Elloise will be the last child hurt here.

I spend my nights reading through the stories you leave here and my heart breaks for every family who knows this fear. Meetings with the local council are happening behind the scenes to keep the pressure on for a safer road. We have to keep pushing because this is about protecting our children before another accident happens.

Poor little girl. cant believe this hasnt been fixed already. my heart goes out to the family.
Absolute disgrace. fix the road before a life is lost. slow down to 30.
40mph in a residential area is just insane. what were they thinking when they set that limit?! slow the traffic down now.
This road is terrifying. I live just round the corner and see cars speeding past all the time. Need a crossing before someone else gets hurt.
Every time i try to cross with my kid i take my life in my hands. its only a matter of time before another accident happens if nothing changes.

DROP THE SPEED LIMIT TO 30. HOW MANY MORE KIDS NEED TO GET HIT FOR THE COUNCIL TO DO SOMETHING USEFUL?
