After a young 13 year old lad got run over and broke his leg in two places this week we want the highway agency to put in traffic lights at the roundabout near Worcester Royal Hospital. This is a very busy road for young kids going to and from school, hospital and office workers and also joggers. As a driver myself I think it is a dangerous junction.
I am currently compiling a report of all the near misses reported by parents and hospital staff to submit to the highways department. Email your local council representative today and demand they prioritize this funding before another child gets hurt. Post the petition link on your Facebook feed so we keep this pressure on the agencies involved.

The momentum behind this petition is undeniable and shows how many people recognize the danger at this roundabout. Post the link to your Facebook page right now so we keep this pressure on the highway agency. Call your local representative today and demand they prioritize these traffic lights.

I contacted the Highways dept back in 2011 for a crossing and this involved local councillors and local MP to no avail. We need a safe crossing at this junction before anyone else gets hurt.

A pedestrian cross is desperately required on the round about by the hospital. This is a very popular crossing area for residents of Warndon villages headed for the hospital or country woods. More importantly it's a busy crossing for children headed to/from Nunnery Wood High School. Been saying a pedestrian crossing is required here for years.

I also use this route to get to work and have witnessed a number of near misses both as a car user and pedestrian. I hope the young man is ok. The footpath and cycle path both cross at this junction so a properly controlled crossing is long overdue.

My daughter & her friends use this junction daily & she always says she has to wait for someone to be kind enough to stop as there are to many ways that cars can approach the crossing . This is not good enough . I raised this concern a few years ago & now a child has been injured - enough is enough , action needs to be taken.

I understand the issue is due to an agreement with a developer to build a crossing as part of planning permission. However, the development has clearly ground to a halt so the council *need* to step forward and do the right thing.

I walk across this road everyday from school, it's a horrible crossing especially being by a hospital it should be safer small 11 year olds are expected to cross this walking home from school, it's dangerous, disappointing and disturbing to know that a boy has been knocked over. How has no one else had the same thing happen to them? It NEEDS to be looked at
