Save lives on the Southern Link Road

We call upon Worcestershire County Council and West Mercia Police to urgently improve safety on the Southern Link Road by reducing speed limits, installing average speed cameras, and adding traffic lights and barriers at roundabouts.

Why is this important?

We believe that road safety should be given the highest priority. 

We call upon Worcestershire County Council and West Mercia Police to work together to reduce the speed limits for vehicles on the Southern Link Road and to improve enforcement by introducing average speed cameras.

Many residents living in Kempsey, Norton and St Peter's struggle to enter the roundabouts and there is a history of cars crashing off the roundabouts onto the footpaths. We call for the introduction of traffic light control and safety barriers to protect pedestrians.

Local residents living in St Peter's have had to endure excessive road noise and fumes from the cars travelling at 60mph speeds.

There are multiple accidents occurring on each of the roundabouts with many not being reported to the police as the drivers fail to stop.
