We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Stricter penalties for running red traffic lights near schools
We need stricter penalties for people who run through red lights near schools.
More details
We need this because on a weekly basis in my area of Medway, people drive straight through traffic lights near a primary school. I have witnessed multiple occasions where people have driven straight through and almost hit a child. Some people go straight through the red light hoping for the best. People need to be held accountable for their reckless driving, 3 points on their licence and a £100 fine isn't enough. We need to protect our children.
