Young resident Demi presented a 1200 name petition over a year ago demanding action to make Bowerdean Road safer. Today, Demi and friend Scott were joined by Councillor Julia Wassell, Councillor Chaudhary Ditta and Parliamentary Campaigner Steve Guy to discuss options with officers from Bucks County Council. On the agenda were speed bumps, a 20mph speed limit, a pedestrian crossing and a variety of other measures. The campaign team were pleased to come away with a firm promise of new white lines and SLOW signs on the road.
This is just the start. You can be sure that the Lib Dem team will continue to monitor progress. Bowerdean Road has seen a number of accidents involving children over the last three years.
Re: Bowerdean crossroads,
Can you advise as to whether there are plans to put traffic light controlled crossing at the Bowerdean Crossroads?
It is nearly impossible to cross as there is no point when the traffic is not moving! Speaking as a Mother of a soon to be 8 year old who is looking for more independance I find myself denying this as crossing the road is dangerous for adults never mind children. Also the amount of cars consistantly running the red lights on these crossroads is incredible!! I beleive there should be cameras to catch offenders as this also makes it much more dangerous to cross the road as they are quite often breaking the speed limit to ‘make it’ across the road.
Any information wouls be very much appreciated.
Kind regards
Arline Houston
