The local council finally caved and confirmed that speed cameras are officially coming to Brook Street. This win belongs to every one of you who stood up to their pathetic excuses and forced them to put our safety before their convenience. Stay sharp because we need to make sure they …

The town of Welshpool is sign posted as a 30MPH zone, which means the whole town, yet speeding, particularly on our back roads, still seems to be a major problem. One of these roads in-particular being the Brook Street/Woodside/Dolyfelin area. Time and time again cars come zooming down the road way in excess of the speed limit, there's a children's play park that the road has to be crossed to get to it and it's also a road that pensioners have to cross. There is a zebra crossing but this in itself is being rendered useless as these speeding cars are failing to stop for pedestrians. It’s becoming such a danger not only to residents but to their pets, I personally having to bury 2 much loved family pets as a result of speeding accidents. How long before something more severe happens and a child or an elderly person gets knocked down? Something has to be done and NOW! This road NEEDS a speed camera! It needs to be made SAFER!

The local council continues to ignore the constant danger on Brook Street while our children and elderly neighbors risk their lives every single day. I am tired of waiting for them to act so I am currently forcing a meeting with the authorities to demand speed cameras. They might keep dodging our calls but they cannot ignore the reality of these speeding cars much longer.

The momentum behind this petition is proving that the residents of Welshpool are finished with the reckless speeding on Brook Street. The council can no longer pretend that this is a minor issue when so many people are demanding immediate action to stop these dangerous drivers.

bloody dangerous. these drivers treat it like a racetrack. get some speed bumps or a camera in asap.
Used to live near there and the speed people do is mental. Someone is gonna die soon if they dont put a camera up.
Totally agree. People treat the 30 limit like a suggestion rather than the law. Seen way too many near misses at the crossing.
Too many cars zoom past. Its gotten way worse over the last year.
my kids walk that road to get to the park all the time and i constantly worry about them. it needs slowing down before an accident happens.

Speed cameras are in my opinion essential along this road, drivers regularly ignore the speed limit & only yesterday a lorry had to slam his brakes on for someone halfway across the zebra crossing
