This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Make pavements safe for children near schools!
Put some safety measures in place! Traffic wardens, speed cameras, zebra crossings. Something!
More details
Schools in Norwich (lionwood infant and nursery) in particular. People are parking on double yellows, speeding and driving on pavements. It is becoming increasingly worrying for us who walk our children to school. Only last week my 7 year old was nearly reversed into while he was next to me on the pavement! I've seen a scooter under a car because someone was speeding (luckily mum pulled child off in time). People are constantly driving on pavements to get past parked cars. Something needs to be done!
Because it's only a matter of time before a child gets seriously injured or worse.
