Installation of Speed Humps in Crane Gardens

We the undersigned petition Hillingdon Council to formally request the installation of speed humps along our street to control the speed of traffic and improve safety in our neighborhood.

In recent years, traffic along North Hyde Road has significantly increased, and as a result, Crane Gardens has been excessively used as a cut-through by drivers seeking to avoid congestion. This increased traffic has led to many vehicles speeding through our narrow road, putting residents and their property at risk.

There have been numerous incidents where resident vehicles have been damaged by passing cars, often due to drivers misjudging the width of the road. These incidents typically go unreported, leaving residents to bear the costs of the damage. Moreover, the high speed of some drivers greatly increases the likelihood of more serious accidents, including potential harm to pedestrians, children, and cyclists who regularly use the street.

We strongly believe that installing speed humps in Crane Gardens will:

Act as an effective measure to reduce vehicle speeds.
Discourage non-local drivers from using our street as a shortcut.
Reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury.
Create a safer and more pleasant environment for all residents.
The growing problem of speeding and increased traffic in our area is a pressing safety concern. Therefore, we urgently request that Hillingdon Council consider the installation of speed humps in Crane Gardens to protect our community.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. We look forward to your prompt and positive response.

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.

This ePetition runs from 28/10/2024 to 28/11/2024.
