URGENT PLEA FOR FIXED SPEED CAMERAS ON BRIDGEMAN STREET AND HIGHER SWAN LANE IN BOLTON
Install fixed speed cameras on Bridgeman Street and Higher Swan Lane
Why is this important?
Installing fixed speed cameras on Bridgeman Street and Higher Swan Lane that can actually catch those who are driving dangerously is important given how common this unacceptable behaviour has become.
This road is busy with high footfall of pedestrians, many of whom are children. There is also heavy traffic of school runs.
Drivers on the road are responsible for driving safely. Unfortunately, a minority have made Bridgeman Street and Higher Swan Lane a dangerous place to cross and drive on.
We need your support.
Residents on Bridgeman Street have complained about the growing problem of dangerous drivers speeding both directions on Bridgeman Street and Higher Swan Lane. Drivers speed down Higher Swan Lane and lose control as they go around the bend into Bridgeman Street causing horrific accidents over the years. The same is true for cars dangerously speeding up Bridgeman Street on the opposite direction towards Higher Swan Lane.
The speeding cars too often crash into parked cars near the bend. A resident, who has lived in the locality for four years, has his car severely damaged four times. Many residents do not even feel safe in their own houses, because, they said, if there were no cars parked outside, speeding cars could crash into the front of their houses.
This area is busy with pedestrians of all ages, as it is a location for a mosque, a church, and schools, as well as many shops and takeaways.
The council has agreed to repairs some existing speed bumps and install speed monitoring cameras, but these measures are not enough to tackle this problem.
We need your urgent support with this petition to make sure Transport for Greater Manchester listens to our plea to put fixed speed cameras on Bridgeman Street and Higher Swan Lane near the bend that connects both streets. By doing this, we are making the road safer for our community, particularly our children and the elderly.
Our Local Labour Team, including myself, Cllr Abdul Atcha, and Mr Ismail Ibrahim have supported the cause and are working with the local community to ensure Bridgeman Street and Higher Swan Lane become a safe place to live.
Will you sign our petition and help make our area a safer place to be?
Thank you for your support.
