We would like Brighton and Hove City Council to install a safe crossing near Hove Cemetery across Old Shoreham Road. 

We’re two mums living north of Hove Cemetery. On a daily basis we cross Old Shoreham Road by Hove Cemetery with our young children and find it an extremely dangerous and frightening task. If you are familiar with the road, you have to cross four lanes of traffic, that is often going over the 30mph speed limit. There is no safe island to cross halfway. 

This safe crossing can be used by the multiple school children, families and bikes that use this route on a daily basis. The cut-through through Hove Cemetery is used by hundreds of people every day. Yet to cross safely you need to walk 500 meters in one direction to access a pedestrian crossing or 300 meters in the opposite direction. Therefore hundreds of children take the risk of crossing this dangerous road every day. 

Please support us by signing our petition. Once we’ve gained enough support we’ll present the petition to the City Council. We’ve already received support from a local Councillor who have agreed to write a supporting letter to go alongside this petition.
