Young people campaign for action on Bowerdean Road

Steve Guy — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 21:27:12 +0000

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.
