00:00We're here with Dulcey and Grace on Moss Street. Guys, tell us a little bit about your petition

00:05so you've had a problem here on Moss Street with speeding cars.

00:09Our mum used to walk up and down each other's houses and now we're going to have to walk

00:18up and down. It's a bit too dangerous for us to walk up and down and feel safe. So we've

00:26started this petition to hopefully get the council to notice us and do something about

00:30the speeding.

00:31What are your aims with the petition when you hand it in to Richard Lockhart and the

00:35council?

00:36Hopefully get speed bumps or anything like that. Patra, traffic lights, just something

00:43that will hopefully stop the speed.

00:46Is there a particular time of day that you notice that the speeding is worse?

00:51Early evening.

00:55And have you noticed it getting worse progressively over the last couple of years?

00:59Yeah, definitely. It wasn't so much of a problem when we were younger and our mum used to walk

01:06us but it's just passed maybe three or four years.

01:09And have you had help with the petition? You've been going round knocking on doors and I understand

01:13you've got 67 signatures so far?

01:16We haven't finished all houses quite yet but everybody's been positive about it and have

01:21signed it.
