Safer Roads for Pupils of Birchington and Westgate Secondary Schools.

We the undersigned petition the council to Lower the speed limit outside both schools and provide a crossing on the dual carriageway.

Two year seven pupils were recently involved in serious accidents within a nine month period outside King Ethelbert Secondary School. Both secondary schools are located on a busy dual carriageway with a 40mph speed limit that is often flouted and used as a racetrack. There is no safe crossing outside either of the schools, not only does this affect our youngsters but many of our elderly residents are too scared to cross this busy dual carriageway.
We are calling on KCC to lower the speed limit outside both schools and provide a SAFE way for pupils and residents to cross the road.
