On Friday, I met the family of Josh, who tragically died whilst walking between Laughton Common and Thurcroft. I also met local police officers, borough councillors and members of the local community who are desperate to bring about some changes to this road.
I am asking all constituents to sign this petition, which calls for traffic calming measures on Laughton Common Road, an assessment of the safety of the bridge and the establishment of a proper footpath between Laughton Common and Thurcroft.
I know from conversations on Friday that this is a popular route and I hope Rotherham Council will agree that if people are walking this road, then it needs to have the appropriate safety measures implemented.
Please sign my petition here: https://www.alexanderstafford.org.uk/.../laughton-common...
Thank you to Josh's family for having the courage to meet me and discuss things so soon after the tragedy of his death. I will do all I can to support them in the weeks and months ahead.
