Traffic Calming - Westwood Hill, East Kilbride

The purpose of the petition is to persuade the Council that the provision of traffic calming measures/pedestrian crossing facilities on Westwood Hill is both desirable and a necessity.  This could be pedestrian crossings and traffic calming road engineering which would be serve to reduce the speed of traffic and make Westwood Hill safer for pedestrians to cross.

In the 21st century having public/pedestrian safety measures should be a given, a standard and not something that the Council may provide if officials see fit.

The onus cannot and should not be placed upon Police Scotland alone to deal with the majority of drivers who travel at speeds far in excess of the 30 mile an hour statutory limit.

It is clear that Police Scotland do not have the manpower nor resources to do. By placing all responsibility upon Police Scotland, Council officials are negating the responsibility that they have for public safety.

Further, Police Scotland have no responsibility for the volume of Traffic using Westwood Hill.
