Addressed to National Highways -

The A259 Barnhorn Road & Marsh Road is experiencing growing safety concerns which urgently require attention. Countless encounters of close calls, serious and fatal accidents are everyday realities now. The need for improved road safety measures in this area has become starkly apparent, and authorities must take immediate action. According to recent data, accident prone zones are rising across the country, with A259 Barnhorn Road & Marsh Road being a significant contributor to serious and fatal incidents in the last few years (Source: Department for Transport UK). From installing clear signage and redesigning dangerous junctions, to introducing speed reduction mechanisms and better pedestrian provisions - a comprehensive road safety strategy is critical. All road users - drivers, cyclists and pedestrians - should have confidence in their safety when navigating our roads. We implore relevant authorities, governmental departments, and local representatives to prioritise and implement urgent road safety upgrades on A259 Barnhorn Road & Marsh Road. Please sign this petition to demand safer roads for our community.

I will be delivering the petition to National highways with support of our local MP Dr Kieran Mullan, other local councilors and stakeholders. 

On behalf of the local residents, businesses and road users. 

Kind Regards 

Cllr Jimmy Stanger
