Cars are driving too fast down Edinburgh Drive, using it as a cut-through to avoid traffic on Long Lane. This is a residential road housing families with young children and pets as well as a large secondary school of over 1500 children.  

Yesterday, our beloved family cat was run over and killed in a hit-and-run. Fortunately, a mum and her young son (on a scooter) were passing and stopped to help but in spite of us getting her to the vet immediately, she was too injured to save with multiple fractures of the pelvis. Luna was 2 years old with a kitten of her own who was far too young to die in such a painful, horrifying way. Our 5 children are traumatised and devastated, as were the witnesses to the accident. 

If we don't take action now, how many more families will suffer the consequences of high speed drivers more concerned with shaving a couple of minutes off their commute than driving safely?
