ePetition - Reduce Speed Limit on Holmes Ave

Holmes Avenue, Hove, is currently part of the proposals for Phase 3 for the city-wide introduction of 20 mph limits. However, it's only a matter of time before someone loses their life and the solution comes too late.

My family and I have not long moved to this area and have become increasingly concerned for the safety of the kids walking to and from Blatchington Mill School and for the safety of our daughter, neighbours & local residents.
Drivers seem to race up & down Holmes Avenue trying to save a few seconds on their journey. On several occasions, they have been careless and reckless by not looking properly at the intersection by the Windmill, causing near head on collisions with on coming traffic & families pulling out of their driveways.

It's even more of a concern that social networking & media can be accessed from phones and it only takes one slip in concentration when crossing the road to end a life.

Please take action by signing the petition to support the 20 mph speed limit in line with other school roads and ask that highly visible ‘give way’ or ‘stop’ signs be placed at relevant points at the windmill junction.

By doing so, you will help to make it a safer community for all.
