Copse Cross St: Road safety petition
Traffic calming, wider pavements, signage.
Why is this important?
We've had enough of drivers thinking its ok to mount the pavement (big no) then DRIVE ALONG the pavement (HUGE no).
We’ve also had enough of drivers speeding down Copse Cross Street towards the High Street - it's dangerous, arrogant, idiotic and quite frankly extremely frustrating.
It takes seconds for a child to run out the door of a shop - which I know all too well as a parent of three little ones whom are naturally naïve to the dangers that come with speeding and mounting pavements.
Not only is this actually dangerous for children, for customers of our business and the shops and restaurants around us, but also for anybody who dares to walk up the Hidden High Street - young or old.
In fact, we've spoken to multiple people who will purposely walk around the back of the Hidden High Street and across the beautiful St Marys Gardens because they don't like walking along this section of the High Street.
As business owners, we are continually losing trade because it's not an enticing street for footfall. People walk with their head down to watch their footing or are staring at the cars to make sure they are safe.
All we're asking is for the council to put in some road safety measures - like signage, traffic calming, and wider pavements - to make this road safer for all of us.
