3. PETITIONS

3. (i)          Traffic Calming and Crossing For Carlton Hill School– Councillor Childs

To receive the following paper and e-petition signed by 89 people at the time of publication:

“We the undersigned petition Brighton & Hove Council to introduce a) Traffic calming measures on Carlton Hill b) A pedestrian crossing on Carlton Hill to allow safe crossing at the School

The road is extremely hazardous for families accessing the School. Cars speed down the hill and the risks discourage parents allowing their children to walk to school as well creating a hostile environment for walkers and cyclists”.

3. (ii)         Queens Park School - Safer Streets - Road Closure Order – Councillor Childs

To receive the following petition signed by 97 people at the time of publication:

“We the undersigned petition Brighton & Hove Council to introduce a school street closure order on the street/s adjacent to Queens Park Primary School

Dangerous driving and parking outside the school has become an increasing issue. With rising stress levels and flaring tempers, we have seen staff being abused when trying to manage the situation and – most scarily of all – the lives of our children being put at risk”.
