Focus on Gill's campaigning
Traffic calm Coulsdon Road
We need safer ways for school children and shoppers to cross at places along Coulsdon Road.
Traffic goes far too fast past three schools, shops and old people's facilities here.
Local people throughout Old Coulsdon have complained about traffic speeds all along Coulsdon Road past two sets of shops and schools. Lib Dems have been told it is 'an accident waiting to happen'.
Lib Dem campaigners Gill Hickson and John Jefkins have positioned signs along the road impressing upon drivers the need to slow down and started a petition to consider options such as making each of the crossings into raised speed humps.
