Our family is among the many who reside in the newly developed areas of Little Dawley and Doseley. We have witnessed firsthand how the quiet charm of our community is overshadowed by the danger of speeding vehicles on Lightmoor Road. Despite the influx of new housing developments, which have increased the population and traffic in our area, the necessary improvements to our local roads have not come to light. One of the most glaring omissions is the absence of speed bumps, a simple yet effective measure to ensure the safety of pedestrians and residents alike.

Lightmoor Road is not just a thoroughfare for cars; it's a shared space used daily by children walking to school, families enjoying their local surroundings, and members of our community leading busy lives. The safety of all these people is jeopardized by speeding vehicles, and unfortunately, without adequate measures, accidents are inevitable.

Installing speed bumps will drastically reduce vehicle speeds, making Lightmoor Road safer for everyone. It’s a proven fact that speed bumps can decrease traffic speed by up to 40%, reducing the likelihood of fatalities and serious accidents (source: Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents). More importantly, it gives peace of mind to the parents, residents, and everyone who uses this road.

We urge the local council to prioritize the safety and well-being of its residents by installing speed bumps on Lightmoor Road. It's a small step that can have a huge impact in preventing accidents and making our community a safer place to live.
