Binfield residents believe Foxley Lane and St Marks Road need investigating before an accident happens.

The petition on Change.org explains residents concerns and why the roads need reviewing.

It says: "The residents locally, would like to be heard by Bracknell Forest Council regarding the safety of our roads in Binfield.

"Foxley Lane - to have double yellow lines along both sides of Foxley Lane when entering from St Marks Road. With currently cars parked along this section, there is a requirement to overtake these parked cars on a bend where oncoming traffic is not visible.

"St Marks Road - to have traffic lights from Foxley Lane across Marks Road (to Indian Restaurant opposite) This will ensure cars reduce their speed and allow children crossing to attend Kings Academy School or other Binfield Schools."

Anxious parents believe by stopping parking on Foxley Lane, it will improve movement of traffic in rush hour periods when other Bracknell residents are using the road as a cut through.

They are also calling for a zebra crossing or traffic light system near to Morshead Drive to allow pupils and parents to safely cross the road to school.

Their petition further adds: "Our request is for Bracknell Forest Council to take action and make necessary updates to the safety of our roads in these areas."

As of Tuesday, November 24, 73 people signed the petition calling for the authority to review the roads.

Bracknell Forest Council said they are aware of the petition circulating online.

A spokesman said: "I can confirm that Bracknell Forest Council acknowledge this petition, and will investigate the concerns raised and respond to the organiser in due course."
