I rise on behalf of the residents of Osmaston Road in Harborne in my constituency to present a petition about dangerous driving. I want to give special thanks to Michael Thompson and Terence Lester, the chief petitioners. The 84 names that they collected for the previous iteration of this petition show the strength of feeling among residents on the road.
The petition states:
The petition of residents of Osmaston Road, Harborne, Birmingham,
Declares that there are serious concerns surrounding speeding on Osmaston Road; further declares that illegally modified motor cars, Quad Bikes, Motor Bikes and Commercial Vans travel on this road at a high speed, which is deeply frightening for residents of the road; notes that the petitioners have repeatedly attempted to engage with the Council on this issue and have not received a response.
The petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge the Government to work with Birmingham City Council Highways Department and West Midlands Police to address the concerns of the residents of Osmaston Road to prevent dangerous speeding.
And the petitioners remain, etc.
