e-petitions - Urgent: Reduce Speed Limit on Maulden Road for Ruxox Nursery Safety

Drastically reduce the speed limit from national speed limit.

Supporting details:

I have two children, aged 3 and 1, at Ruxox Nursery School, Maulden Road, Flitwick, Bedfordshire MK45 5BN. Maulden Road is currently national speed limit, and I strongly believe this needs to change. The speed of travel of vehicles passing the nursery entrance endangers parents and nursery workers (and the children in their cars) as they pull in and out of the car park on a daily basis. Despite there being a nursery sign roadside, there's nothing else demanding people slow down along the straight stretch of road between the roundabout until reaching Flitwick.

Every child attending Ruxox is under 5 years old. And every child attending Ruxox is dropped off in a car in the absence of a safe way to get to the setting by other means. This petition is to campaign our local Councillors to make it safer for us to take our children to nursery by drastically reducing the speed limit and/or putting speed bumps / flashing lights / signage / a speed camera in place outside of Ruxox on that dangerous stretch of road.

I hope other parents that have witnessed and have experienced the fear of pulling in and out of Ruxox with young children in their cars will sign this petition to urge Councillors to reduce the speed limit along Maulden Road. I have written to Central Bedfordshire Councillors, Ampthill Council and Blake Stephenson MP, and hope that a petition could help action change.
