I am a concerned resident of Raunds, whose family frequently uses the stretch of road between Raunds Warth Park and Thrapston services. My husband, a firefighter, has regularly attended fatal accidents on this very road. The fear for our safety and that of our young children is constant, especially when witnessing reckless overtaking by other drivers.

This stretch of road has proven to be dangerous time and again. It's not just my family's story; it's the story of many families in our community who have been affected by the lack of adequate safety measures on this road. We need immediate action from our local council to revise these measures.

The current situation is unacceptable considering that roads should be safe spaces for all users - motorists, cyclists and pedestrians alike. We urge the local council to consider implementing stricter speed limits, clearer signage or even traffic calming measures such as speed bumps or chicanes.

We cannot wait for another tragedy before taking action. Our community deserves better than living in constant fear each time we use this stretch of road. Let us come together as residents of Raunds to demand improved safety measures on the stretch between Raunds Warth Park and Thrapston services.
