Walkley Road: Stop The Chaos!

We have had enough of the conflict on Walkley Road.

It isn’t working for anyone. Not working for drivers who get boxed in and face abuse and road rage. Not working for kids walking to school trying to cross heavy traffic or with vehicles on pavements. And not working for residents with all the noise and threat from arguments and speeding.

No one wants to put other people in danger or cause stress. No one wants to be pressured into driving onto the pavement. But the layout of our streets is putting us into conflict with each other and making driving on, or crossing this and surrounding local streets difficult and dangerous.

This has to be fixed.

We call for immediate measures to safely manage the current traffic, such as temporary traffic lights and pavement bollards. This needs to happen now.

And then we call for Sheffield City Council to work with our community to design permanent solutions which enable us to use this street without being put into conflict - so no-one has to fear getting stuck while driving, and so it is safe for children accessing school.
