Traffic calming for Coalway Road - make the change before a fatality!
The Issue
My names Rachel & along with Jay we have been at Hair by Rachel Michelle on The Coalway Road since October 2016. During this time we listen to and see cars screeching, revving, racing, failing to stop at the crossings. The last twelve months have seen our salon hit by reckless and dangerous drivers four times.
We have also seen numerous other incidents over the last twelve moths along this road. Including a car overtaking another car mounting the kerb which resulted in the overtaking car smashing into a parked car, demolishing three neighbouring gardens, and narrowly missing a pedestrian when they mounted the kerb. Another incident where by the speeding car crashed into a parked car forcing it into a neighbouring garden and causing damage to the property.
The incidents are getting more dangerous and I have been to the council and have been told, criteria for the budget is met by fatality and injury. My fear is there is going to be a fatality.
The area is a highly trafficked with both vehicular and pedestrian use! I am not willing to trade human life before measures are put in place! It could be any one of our friends, family, neighbours or colleagues that could fall the unfortunate victims of a future incident! Please support this change! �
