The resurfacing of Virginia Street is happening now. However the Council have commissioned SPEED HUMPS to be constructed. Sign the petition if you don't want the speed humps.
As Virginia Street is a major road into town these humps will further affect the businesses because fewer people will bother to travel into the town centre?
It is also a bus route and it is doubtful that the buses will be able to 'miss' all the humps.
It will also affect traffic on
Scarisbrick New Road (which is already extremely busy) as traffic will increase down there, in a similar way to
the traffic on Preston New Road has been affected by Rufford Road.
People just won't bother trying to get to town and shop out-of-town or on the internet.

I have been meeting with business owners on Virginia Street and their concerns confirm that these speed humps will hurt our local shops. Please email your local council representatives today to tell them we need a better solution for traffic flow.

The momentum behind this campaign shows the Council that our community rejects these speed bumps. Post our link on your Facebook page and text three neighbors to keep this pressure building. We need to reach our representatives now to make sure they understand the damage these humps will cause to our local businesses.

RIDICULOUS. local shops are struggling enough as it is. who wants to sit in traffic and ruin their car just to buy a pint of milk?
speed bumps are a nightmare for my car suspension. council wasting money again when they should be fixing the actual potholes.

buses will be shaking the houses apart driving over them all day. bad idea for a main road.
