The Issue

As the owner of a family-friendly establishment in Caerau, ensuring the safety of my patrons and the wider community is my utmost priority. Recently, I've become increasingly concerned about the escalating speeds of vehicles passing through our area. The streets here are not just thoroughfares; they are pathways for our lives, where children play, families walk, and a sense of community thrives.

However, the danger posed by speeding vehicles threatens this sense of community safety. Every day, cars zoom past without regard for the pedestrians who share the roads, making it a challenging environment for anyone who values safety and peace of mind. The risk isn't just hypothetical; it's a very real concern that, if not addressed, could lead to tragic consequences—whether it's through losing control and crashing or, even worse, hitting someone they failed to see.

Statistics show that speed bumps are effective in reducing vehicle speeds and improving pedestrian safety.  Moreover, areas with speed bumps installed have reported a significant decrease in traffic accidents.

By placing speed bumps outside our establishment and in key areas of Caerau, we can drastically reduce the speed at which vehicles travel, thereby safeguarding our children, families, and all residents. Speed bumps not only serve as a physical deterrent but also as a psychological cue for drivers to slow down, reminding them of the shared responsibility we have towards each other's safety.

We urge the local council to take immediate action and install speed bumps on the roads of Caerau to prevent any potential accidents and enhance public safety. Your support is crucial in making this change possible. Let's protect our community together by ensuring that safety always comes first.
