To the honourable members of the Brighton and Hove Council, We, the undersigned, wish the council to give due consideration to putting in some form of pedestrian crossing on the Falmer Road at the bottom of Crescent Drive South enabling safe crossing to the area known as "Happy Valley Park", Woodingdean. The reasons for this are as follows: 1/ The road is crossed by a large number of people every day. 2/ There have been several near misses The access to the park is just over the brow of a hill 3/ The temporary traffic camera used by the police is having no effect on the cars speeding down this road 4/ The "Friends of Happy Valley Group" are actively encouraging people to use the area 5/ Long term aims also include a Café and the re-installation of a children's park

I have submitted a formal request for a meeting with the Brighton and Hove Council to present the traffic concerns at Falmer Road. I am currently compiling the reports of near misses shared in the comments to include with our proposal.

The volume of support has reached a level that allows me to formally request a meeting with the local council cabinet member for transport. I have drafted a briefing document detailing the safety concerns at the Falmer Road junction to present during these discussions.

Cars come over that hill way to fast. Its only a matter of time before someone gets hit. Need a crossing put in ASAP.

Finally! Walking my dog there is terrifying. Drivers dont care about anyone trying to cross to the park. Do something before a kid gets hurt.

RIDICULOUS that nothing has been done yet. I see people dodging traffic every single weekend. Fix it.
