Rejected petition Make it safe to cross the A689 from Wynyard Park to Wynyard Village
Properties in Wynyard Park are cut off from accessing vital services in Wynyard Village, separated by the A689 70mph dual carriageway. No crossing facilities mean kids can't walk to school, residents can't access shops / pharmacy safely. It's dangerous and isolating, impacting the most vulnerable.
More details
Please complete this petition to support the immediate reduction in speed limits on the A689 prior to and between the West and East gate roundabouts at Wynyard and the bringing forward of the traffic lights and pedestrian crossing for the West Gate roundabout to ensure the safety of both pedestrians and car users.
