New Eaton Road in Stapleford has become an increasingly dangerous route, with drivers often using it as a shortcut from Toton Lane to Brookhill Street. Alarmingly, many vehicles travel at speeds of 50 to 60 mph, posing grave risks to pedestrians, cyclists, and residents alike. This reckless driving behavior not only endangers the lives of all road users but also disrupts the peace and safety of our community.

The residents of Stapleford deserve safer streets, free from the fear of high-speed traffic. Installing speed humps on New Eaton Road is a practical and effective measure that can significantly reduce vehicle speed, promote safer driving habits, and ultimately, protect our community from potential accidents and injuries.

Speed humps have been proven to be an effective traffic calming solution in residential areas, reducing both the frequency and severity of speeding-related incidents. By implementing this measure, we can ensure a safer environment for children walking to school, families crossing the road, and elderly residents going about their daily activities.

We call upon the local council to take immediate action to prioritize the safety of New Eaton Road inhabitants by installing speed humps. This initiative not only safeguards lives but also enhances the quality of life within our neighbourhood.

Please lend your support by signing this petition. Together, we can drive change and secure a safer future for everyone in Stapleford.
