TRAFFIC CALMING ON POPLAR STREET
As a resident who has lived on poplar street for the last 20yrs, i have seen many a change on this street. The most being in the last 5-7 yrs when tesco was opened. This has increased the amount of traffic on this road and as always more traffic means a greater increase in the liklyhood that someone will be killed by speeding vehicles on this road. Ive witnessed cars, vans, motorbikes traveling at break neck speeds up and down this once lovely happy road. Children playing on the streets without worry for parents. But as like me a parent of 3 young girls 11yr, 12yr and 14yr olds, i would turn in my grave if anything happened to them and i'd not done everything in my power to make this road safe again. I have opened a complaint to nottingham county council with my concerns on 14/06/11, only to be told in the 10 days they "supposingly" carried out investigations to my concerns, that because no-one had been injured in the last three years, there was nothing they could do! Please sign my on-line petition so i present it to the council to stress that we people who live here and work hard for our money will not tollerate speeding vehicles on our street! One last thing..... please, please think about my remarks, as i dont want to see ANYONE killed on our road, because WHEN somone is, that will be someones son, daughter, mother, father, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, cousin, wife, huband.....etc. so please think, i could even by YOU! Thanks for taking the time to read this.
