KEEP THE SAFER STREETS IMPROVEMENTS on Milwain Road

We the undersigned petition the Council to REJECT CALLS TO UNDO THE RECENT SAFER STREETS IMPROVEMENTS TO MILWAIN ROAD AND LINDEN PARK BY RETAINING THE ROAD BARRIERS.

The recent safer streets improvements have significantly IMPROVED AIR QUALITY in the neighbourhood and have made the streets SAFER for pedestrians and cyclists, especially CHILDREN WALKING TO SCHOOL .
People who say there was no consultation are WRONG. Residents were leafleted , several public consultation meetings were held and there was the opportunity to voice opinion online.
For people living on these roads as well as Crompton , Ranford , Kempton and Roads with asthma or other breathing and related conditions, things have VASTLY improved .
IT IS THEIR RIGHT TO FREEDOM FROM AIR POLLUTION AND STREETS WHICH ARE SAFE TO WALK ON, WHICH FAR OUTWEIGHS THE SO CALLED " FREEDOM" TO DRIVE AT WILL THROUGH OUR OTHERWISE QUIET RESIDENTIAL STREETS , PARTICULARLY AT SCHOOL PICK UP AND DROP OFF TIMES when streams of vehicles formerly used our streets as a RAT-RUN .
The area is now an altogether more pleasant, safe and healthy place to live . Please do not take this away from us.
