A267 & B2102 Safer Junction Petition

Although not actually part of the village many Hadlow Down residents travel through this junction every day and lots more less often.
I’m sure everyone is aware of the high number of accidents that have been reported over the last few years involving traffic entering or exiting the Blackboys Road as well as those involving entering or exiting the petrol station.
Following the death of a pedestrian on Tuesday 22nd March a petition to ESCC via 38 Degrees has been started and you may wish to follow the link and sign if you feel the junction should be made safer.
