Children play nearby and pedestrians use the area daily, yet drivers often travel too fast to react safely. There have been near-misses, and it feels like an accident is inevitable. A speed bump would slow traffic, reduce risk, and protect residents from serious harm. Residents deserve to feel safe in their own neighbourhood, and children should be able to play outside without unnecessary dangers.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":9,"created_at":"2026-04-10T00:01:38.277Z","updated_at":"2026-04-27T09:46:44.428Z","rejected_at":"2026-04-27T09:46:30.999Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-04-10T08:08:50.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"local","details":"We can’t accept petitions that call for action at a local level.\r\n\r\nYou could ask your MP to take action on your concerns about this issue, including by asking them to present a public (paper) petition about this.\r\n\r\nYou can find contact details for your local MP here: https://members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP\r\n\r\nAnd you can find out how to ask your MP to present a public (paper) petition here: https://www.parliament.uk/get-involved/sign-a-petition/paper-petitions/\r\n\r\nYou could also raise your issue with a local councillor who represents you.
