Rejected petition Speed bumps to be installed on our road

I would like speed bumps installed in our village main road

More details

So many of our beloved animals and wildlife are cruelly being taken from us due to the persistent speeding that occurs in our small village.

Not only are they being killed but also costly in vet bills through wrecklessness, lack of care, lack of thought for others.

Is it really going to take a child to be killed because of the speeding that occurs!!!

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We're not sure exactly which road you're talking about, but petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament is responsible for.

Decisions about installing speed bumps on locally managed roads are a matter for individual local authorities, not the Government or Parliament. We can accept petitions calling for improvements to road managed by Highways England, as this is a central government agency, but it was not clear if the road you referred to was locally managed or managed by Highways England.

If this road is managed by your local authority you could raise this issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them: https://www.gov.uk/find-your-local-councillors

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
