In our community of North Wingfield, I have witnessed firsthand the dangers posed by speeding vehicles. My heart breaks every time I think about the moments when both of my beloved cats were hit by reckless drivers. Not just that, but there have been several instances where my children narrowly escaped serious harm due to speeding cars along Alma Road and around Lings Crescent. It's terrifying to think how close we came to an unimaginable tragedy.

The issue is persistent and has been observed by many other residents in our neighbourhood. Alma Road and Lings Crescent have become notorious for reckless drivers who treat these roads like a racetrack. This has not only endangered our pets and children but also disturbed the peace and safety of our community.

According to data provided by [appropriate local authority or source], there have been numerous reports of accidents and near-misses in this area, many of which are linked to high speeds. This is a preventable issue, and by taking action, we can protect our community from future harm.

Speed cameras are a proven solution to reduce speeding and have been successful in calming traffic in countless towns and cities. Installing speed cameras around these critical stretches of Alma Road and Lings Crescent would deter reckless driving and safeguard our children, pets, and all pedestrians.

We urge the local council to prioritize the safety of North Wingfield’s residents by installing these cameras. Let us not wait for a fatal accident to occur to prompt change. Together, we can make our voices heard and create a safer environment for everyone.

Please join me in calling for action by signing this petition. Let's work together to ensure the safety of our community and preserve the wellbeing of our children and pets.
