The local council has confirmed that lighting and traffic calming measures will be installed along Brook End road. This outcome represents a significant shift for the safety of everyone in our community who walks by the rugby club. I appreciate the time each of you took to signal your agreement …

Brook End road in Weston Turville (Near rugby club) is extremely dangerous and dark. Due to recent fatal events, we no longer deem it acceptable or safe for citizens to walk along at night. We want to have more lights and (possibly speed bumps?) to stop repetition of these events.

Reaching one thousand signatures provides a clear signal that our community refuses to accept the current risks on Brook End road. Please help us reach this mark so we have a powerful, unified foundation when we approach the local authorities.

After the death of Ben Roberts, a sixteen year old boy. More safety needs to be proposed to prevent issues like this in the future. The Rugby club is a general route for school students, their safety matters to the area.

Street lamps and speed bumps along this road are DESPERATELY needed! People shouldn't be allowed to drive down dark roads that don't have a speed limit and with a path down ONE side of the road! Lives are lost due to inconsiderate planning and construction such as this

Living in Brook End I am acutely aware of the amount of traffic that speeds along the whole length of the road. Sadly this was bound to happen and I fully support this petition in order to avoid a repeat occurrence of this tragedy.

Shocked to the core, deeply saddened at such a tragic accident. When I have pressed for speed restrictions in semi-rural areas in the past I have been told by BCC that they cannot police the speed restrictions and don't won't to clutter the streets with too much signage.

I used to be terrified turning out of Aylesbury RFC's drive when my son attended there, with cars whizzing by at 60mph. It's such a shame that it takes a terrible accident to occur before anyone sits up and takes notice. My heart goes out to the Roberts family, RIP Ben.xx

Along with lights & a reduction of the speed limit. There is no need for the road to be 60mph there, it should stay a 30mph between the two villages. 60mph for such a short length of road makes people put idiot heads on.

Let's hope Ben's life is the last taken. Light up the road!
