We recently lost Mark Haywood, a young bright spark who loved life and touched everybody he knew, so lets do something for him. As his girlfriend i know that this is what he would of wanted, all of us pulling together to make a change. He was killed crossing William Nadin Way. This was an accident.This is a fast road which has public footpaths on both sides linking Newhall to Swadlincote/Church Gresley.Young and old people use the footpaths.We need a safe place to cross. A pedestrian crossing, signs indicating people crossing,improve street lighting,reduction of speed. Please can their be a positive change from such a tragic loss.

I was just looking at the count and saw we are creeping right up to five hundred which feels huge but also kind of tiny compared to what we actually need to change things on William Nadin Way. If everyone reading this could just send a text to a few people right now we would hit that milestone before the day is out and really show them we aren't going away.

I just looked at the screen and saw 100 signatures which honestly feels overwhelming because Mark deserved better than what happened on that road. It is just so much to take in but knowing people actually care about making William Nadin Way safe gives me a tiny bit of peace.

I see the numbers rising and it makes me think of Mark and how much he would have wanted this to happen for everyone else walking on that road. If everyone who already signed just grabbed one other person who cares about this neighborhood we would hit that first hundred in no time at all. It feels like we are finally getting somewhere but I need you all to keep pushing this forward right now.

This road needs to be made safer. If proper road-safety was in place this would not have happened. The driver stopped, this was not a hit and run. I am devasted for Froda's friends, family and the driver. Be positive people - he deserved it.

it makes sense to have speed cameras down the road as there are warehouses down that road and all it takes is for someone to pull out on someone and ya got an accident on your hands how many people have to die down that road before something gets done i think one is more than enough

I didn't know frodo, but to see how many of his friends are trying their hardest to do something right, I would happily sign this petition as this stretch of road seriously needs attention to make it safe for people and to drastically reduce the speed limit, make it safe

I definitely agree that there should be a set of traffic lights or speed camera down this road. People use it as a road to race on and it's not on!! An innocent persons life was taken last week (I don't know the reasons behind it) But still I have personally witnessed idiots speeding down the straight!!

No one ever goes 50mph down this road it's always a lot higher . Known to many as Swad drag strip .it needs some measures in place to keep the speed to a minimum
