Traffic Calming Measures/Crossing Point on Brook Lane, Sarisbury Green
The Purple House Prefect Team at Brookfield Community School and I would like to start a campaign to get some sort of Traffic Calming Measure and/or a Crossing Point for pedestrians on Brook Lane, Sarisbury Green. For me, this is something that is quite close to heart due to an accident I had 3 years ago where I was hit by a car crossing Brook Lane walking home from school. We know that this road is one used by many people in the community- the 1800 pupils at Brookfield, people who live on Brook Lane and the children from the Feeder schools in the area. To get something put in place we need as much support as we can get and this is something that will benefit many people in future years. Any support would be highly appreciated!
Thank you,
Sally Mosley and the Purple House Prefect Team
Deputy Head Girl, Brookfield Community School

I started this because of my own accident but reading the messages you have all left about your own fears on Brook Lane has been overwhelming. I never imagined so many people felt the same anxiety about crossing that road every single day. Please know that I am reading every word and I am truly humbled by the response.

My son crosses this road twice daily for school. There should be a crossing between hollybrook gardens cycle path and the community hospital/drs surgery. Too many people have been knocked down by cars at this spot, it is dsngerous for the elderly going to appointments as well as school children crossing.
I fully support the petition to help make our community and roads safety for all generations young, old or with disabilities.
Brook lane desperately needs crossing support. It is far too dangerous crossing at either end. I personally chose not to walk my children to school because of how dangerous it is too cross. It feels like as are waiting for disaster to strike before making any improvements when currently we have the opportunity to be proactive.
Great idea - this road is too busy for the amount of school children (and pensioners). Traffic calming measures would certainly help.
This should be supported by all in the surrounding community as the road is a death trap. Is it going to take a fatality to actually get noticed on how dangerous this road is.
Keep our safe and put a traffic calming measure in place
Let's make it safe for our children to get to school.

I cross this road twice daily with a 7 year old and 5 year old. The corner from the a27 restricts the view and the because most cars are travelling much faster than 30 it is.really hard to cross safely. You either need to add speed reduction here to allow people enough time to check both ways or sort a safer crossing e.g. pedestrian crossing. That said the crossing by woodlands we were nearly hit when a car failed to stop at the red light. Speed is an issue.
