Although the Council's traffic report came back with insufficient evidence to support the argument for speed bumps due to the average speed of traffic being below the threshold, we believe that the "average speed" has no correlation with the risk to life that is caused when non-residents decide to use our road as a cut-through during the busiest time of the evening. Cars are exceeding the residential limit just to beat 2-3 minutes of traffic, and causing a huge risk to the residents of the area.
The road is often busy at this time, with Douay Martyrs children walking to Ickenham Station, the local bus stop, or to parents' cars parked along the road. We also have elderly residents who walk to and from Ickenham Shops, and young children who enjoy using the front of their house to play. These residents no longer feel safe outside the front of their homes, as a direct result of this fast-moving traffic.
On reaching 20 signatures it will be formally considered by the Council and relevant Cabinet Member. Local ward Councillors will also be made aware of the petition. The Council's Democratic Services Team will keep the lead petitioner updated on progress.
