The council confirmed they will install a pedestrian crossing and improved lighting on Deepdene Avenue. This victory belongs to the 266 people who demanded safer road conditions. Keep an eye on the site to ensure they follow through with the construction schedule.

On Tuesday 13 December 2011, a member of Kuoni's cleaning staff sadly passed away after a fatal collision on Deepdene Avenue.
Kuoni staff - and the general public - risk their lives every day on this stretch of road. To turn right out of Kuoni's drive in a car, you have to cross two lanes of traffic travelling at 50mph each way. The gap between each car is just a few seconds and the sound of horns blasting as angry drivers slam on their brakes to let us out is a regular occurrence.
Pedestrians are at risk, too. This week, we saw the proof of this. The public and Kuoni staff cross Deepdene Avenue at the bollard but this area is unlit and those trying to cross cannot be seen by drivers travelling so fast.
You can often see memorial flowers laying by the edge of the road and the council NEED TO TAKE ACTION to prevent any more loss of life. A roundabout, a crossing, lights... whatever is most effective and safe for both our staff and the public driving on Deepdene Avenue in Dorking.
Please sign this petition and pass it on so we can make a difference.

We need to hit our next goal of 250 signatures to force the council to review these fatal traffic conditions. Text the link to three neighbors right now and tell them why this road needs lights or a crossing today.

I drive this road every single day and it is absolutely terrifying. Something has to change before another life is lost.
Used to work near there and hated pulling out of that drive. It is a death trap waiting to happen.
Speed limit needs to be dropped and better lighting put in. Ridiculous that it has been ignored for this long.
Too many near misses on this stretch. We need a proper light or a roundabout asap.
How many more flowers on the side of the road will it take for the council to do their job???
