After yet another child being hit on his way home from school crossing the B2096 Cade Street, we would like the speed of vehicles reduced to 30mph. The Heathfield Community College is a very large school with 1400 young people walking to and from and hanging around the area before and after school.
We want a 20mph inner zone around the college itself and 30mph on the main road up to The Beehive junction. We are surprised that the traffic is allowed to drive at 40mph here and feel it is irresponsible for this to continue. How many more accidents will there be if we don't change this?
ive been spending my afternoons near the school gate watching the traffic and it just feels dangerous every single time a car flies past. honestly the silence from the council is frustrating but its only making me more certain that we cant stop pushing for these speed limits until they finally listen.

i honestly cant believe how fast this is growing. seeing so many people agree that our roads arent safe enough to let this continue is unreal.

My son walks this way every single day and I worry sick every time he leaves the house. 40mph is way too fast with that many kids around.

Fix this now before another kid gets hurt. its just common sense to have a 20 zone near a school.

I used to walk this road and its terrifying even for an adult. Drivers go way too fast on that stretch.

40mph speed limit next to a school is insane. why are we waiting for a tragedy to happen before we slow cars down?

About time something was done. The traffic around here is crazy during school runs and people just dont pay attention.
