For many years us residents have complained about the speed of traffic on a back road with 2 sharp bends and numerous concealed entrances, we have had our family pets sadly killed, family members injured by vehicles and our own vehicles damaged trying to get out of our own entrances, something needs to be done now before it's too late! Our children are fearing for their lives because the speed of them. The council seem to think it's ok for this to be a 60mph which is 100%not suitable.

Please share and get as many people to sign this petition to help us enjoy where we live and stop us all fearing for our lives, and save us from losing our well loved pets and to help save us loosing a family member because sadly that's what we believe the council are waiting for.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the Senedd or Welsh Government is not responsible for.

Whilst the Welsh Government sets national default speed limits it is the responsibility of local authorities to determine the speed limit for each road other than runk roads.

Petitions to the Senedd cannot concern an issue that is the operational responsibility of a local authority and, therefore, we are not able to accept a petition on this issue.

You could consider contacting your local authority representatives about this matter.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards
