Require Safety Barriers to Protect My Home from Collisions


Require Safety Barriers to Protect My Home from Collisions
The Issue
I have experienced firsthand the devastation and distress caused by two serious vehicle collisions at the front of my property. In March 2022, a patient ambulance slammed into my home because its brakes failed. Despite the shock of that incident, I never imagined it could happen again. But in February 2025, an elderly driver, perhaps confused, accidentally hit the accelerator rather than the brakes and crashed through my home, leaving it structurally damaged and uninhabitable.
The stress and inconvenience to myself have been enormous. My home, which was once safe and secure, has become a place of anxiety. Each incident not only impacted my life, but highlighted the urgent need for preventative measures. Given the proximity of a public footpath that's frequently used by children and families, it's not just about my family’s safety but preventing potential harm to others.
Note- CBC has denied protection!
I am calling on local authorities to take immediate action. Installing bollards or railings in front of my property will serve as an effective barrier against any future accidents. These safety measures can protect both my home and ensure the safety of pedestrians using the footpath, creating a safer environment for everyone.
With your support, we can urge the authorities to prioritize this necessary change. Please sign this petition to help safeguard our community and prevent further tragedies.
