Road speed safety and road standards need addressing outside Wantage school.


Road speed safety and road standards need addressing outside Wantage school.
The Issue
The road outside of a primary school in Wantage called Wantage c of e is in terrible disrepair!
It currently has massive pot holes so cars are swerving almost crashing making it very unsafe for not only the road users but most importantly the children and parents at school drop off and pick up times of the day.
It is also a 20 mph limit.... this isn't taken seriously by vehicles of all sizes.
So myself along with all of your support can help get speed reductions to be put in place on the road eg road width speed bumps more signage to make drivers aware of the school eg 20 mph signs that light up to also show there is a school.
The council and fix my street have been made aware but nothing is happening so it's time to make this a matter higher so they can't ignore it before potentially someone is hurt.
Please support us to help make a very important change to not just outside our school but all over the country.
Thank you.
Update: they came out and poorly filled a few holes but the road is still in a terrible state.
Also nothing has been addressed regarding the speed of drivers, I know the road is bad but on the side coming out of town is the better of the two and closest to the school and is regularly driven fast.
Big safety improvements are needed asap.
Thanks again for the support.
