On the 14th June a year 7 student from Prince Henry's Grammar School was knocked down by a cyclist on Newall Carr Road. She sustained a bad head injury and lost a lot of blood.Thankfully she now seems to be recovering well. But if a cyclist can do this amount of damage to a child, just think what a car or other vehicle could have done. It is time to put our children's safety at the forefront of the council's concerns and lobby for a pedestrians crossing to be put in place along Newall Carr Road in front of the school. Car's and other vehicle's speed down this road and do not seem to take into account that there is a school at the bottom of the hill but if we can get a crossing put in place then driver's will have to slow down. Let's keep our kid's safe. Please sign this petition. Thank you for your time.
I am currently compiling our records to present to the local council office. Call your local representative today and demand they prioritize a crossing on Newall Carr Road before another student gets hurt.

We hit a major milestone today and the momentum shows that our community refuses to accept this danger on Newall Carr Road any longer. Email your local council representative right now to demand they review the safety data for the school entrance. Post this link on your Facebook feed to ensure every parent in town sees the urgency of this situation.

Ridiculous that there isnt already a crossing there. It is a school for gods sake. Sort it out council.

I drive past here every morning and it is a nightmare. People fly down that hill way too fast. We shouldn't wait for a death before doing something about it.

Speeding is constant on Newall Carr. It is a death trap at home time.

Totally agree. Traffic moves way to fast there for a school zone and the visibility is shocking some days. Fix it now.
