Rejected petition: Improve safety on the A1 to prevent further deaths and serious injuries.
Rejected on
Carry out an urgent safety review of the A1 through Great Ponton, Marston and Colsterworth and commit funding for improvements to help prevent further deaths and life-changing injuries.
Local communities have seen repeated serious and fatal collisions on the A1 around Great Ponton, Marston and Colsterworth. Every collision represents a person, a family and emergency services affected. We want the Government to commission an urgent independent safety review, publish its findings and fund any engineering or traffic management improvements needed to reduce the risk of future deaths and serious injuries.
Every statistic is a human being.
Why was this petition rejected?
It requests action at a local level.
We cannot accept petitions on local matters: we may be able to accept a petition that was more general/national on this issue. You may also be interested in signing this petition which is already open and is regional in character rather than local:
