Petition statement
For many years now there has been a problem with speeding traffic and vehicles fitted with illegally noisy exhausts using the area like a race track.
There have been several calls for the introduction of traffic-calming measures but thus far the city of Edinburgh Council have been unwilling to introduce and finance such measure.
Many residents (especially those with young children, cycling children or pets, also a number of elderly) in the Dalmeny Park Estate and Scotstoun Ave. are finding themselves terrorised by the ‘boy racers’, and sometimes by the delivery van drivers with various firms. Increasing numbers of people are experiencing severe sleep disturbance due to young drivers of both sexes swishing past their homes in modified vehicles with noisy exhausts.
Something needs to be done, to avert a child fatality or worse.
