Why this petition matters

Started by Catherine Morgan

Petition for Dangerous footpath with blind corner at the junction of Hippodrome Mews and  Walmer road which is presently used by cyclists, motorbikes, electric scooters. mobility scooters, skateboarders and pedestrians.  The footpath forms a blind bend so that pedestrians cannot see cyclists, motor cyclists or others coming in the opposite direction making it very dangerous for pedestrians.

The footpath is a primary walking route to access Avondale Park, the local primary school, the Rugby Portobello social club and Kensington leisure centre.

We are asking that:

  • the footpath is straightened so that sightlines are clear for pedestrians 
  • the footpath is extended into the road to give clear sightlines up and down the road making it safer to cross
  • a new separate path for use by cyclists, motor cycles, electric scooters be made alongside the new footpath
  • the existing steps are removed to form part of the cycle path
  • large planters are located either side of the paths to create a pleasant environment.
