The plaza at Clermont Grove, situated on a slope that leads directly onto the busy R772 road, is a safety hazard, particularly for children on bikes and scooters. The risk of a tragic accident is alarming and this fear is shared by many parents and residents in our community.

The current layout of this entrance lacks essential safety features that could protect our children and other pedestrians. One of the most effective solutions is replacing it with a staggered gate design. Such a design would dramatically reduce the chance of children inadvertently rolling out onto the road and provide a much-needed buffer against fast-moving traffic.

We urge the local authorities to prioritise this change. The cost of such a modification compared to potential lives saved and injuries avoided makes it undeniably necessary. By signing this petition, you are saying that the safety of our children and community matters. Let's make Clermont Grove a safer place for everyone.

Please sign this petition to urge the local council to act swiftly and change the pedestrian plaza entrance to a staggered gate entrance for the safety of our community.
