Welcome to the Slow Down, Save Lives campaign, which we will soon be running on the greatwitleyonline site. This is a result of recent accidents outside Worcester Lodge and Waterfold, two properties that are located on the junction of the Worcester Rd and the final entrance to Witley Court.
Over the next few weeks and months I will be illustrating why this part of Worcester Road needs to have speed limits applied and the lane running to Witley Court needs to have a tonnage limitation. A week ago, a motorcyclist was rushed to hospital after colliding with a car at the junction. Yesterday a little girl was airlifted to hospital after being cut out of a car.
It’s not good enough that the authorities simply hold up their hands and say “there’s nothing we can do”. I do not intend to stand by and watch my wife and children risk their lives going in and out of that entrance in the face of official apathy and local antipathy. Enough is enough.
